Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. This step is optional.
  2. In your crockpot, mix together the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
  3. Carefully place the chicken breasts into the crockpot, ensuring they are fully submerged in the ranch mixture.
  4. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender.
  5. Once done, shred the chicken in the crockpot with two forks and mix it with the creamy ranch sauce.
  6. Stir in the sour cream to enhance the creaminess and richness of the sauce.
  7. Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh parsley. Serve warm over rice, mashed potatoes, or in wraps.
