Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (Approximately 1.5 lbs)

Sauce Mix

  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix (1 oz)
  • 1 packet brown gravy mix (1 oz)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz can)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer.
  2. Mix the sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing mix, brown gravy mix, chicken broth, and cream of chicken soup until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add sauce to chicken: Pour the prepared sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts inside the crockpot, making sure all pieces are well coated.
  4. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender enough to shred.
  5. Shred the chicken: Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the gravy, mixing it evenly to absorb the flavors.
  6. Finish the gravy: Stir in the sour cream into the shredded chicken mixture, then season with salt and pepper to your preference.
  7. Serve: Spoon the creamy chicken and gravy over cooked rice or mashed potatoes, then garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
  8. Optional enhancements: For extra flavor, consider adding chopped onions or garlic to the crockpot before cooking.
  9. Storage tips: Leftovers freeze well; store in an airtight container and reheat gently for future meals.

Notes

  • If preferred, add chopped onions or minced garlic to the crockpot before cooking to deepen the flavor.
  • Use Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative to sour cream for a lower-fat option.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles to complement the creamy gravy.
  • Make sure to cook chicken thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • You can adjust seasoning levels to taste after cooking, especially salt and pepper.
