Ingredients

Chicken

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

Gravy Mixture

  • 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)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly in the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. Make the gravy mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, brown gravy mix, chicken broth, and cream of chicken soup. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Combine in crockpot: Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, making sure all pieces are coated with the sauce.
  4. Slow cook: Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender enough to shred.
  5. Shred the chicken: Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, mixing it well with the gravy.
  6. Add sour cream and season: Stir in the sour cream until well combined. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Serve and garnish: Serve the chicken and creamy gravy over rice or mashed potatoes, garnished with chopped parsley for freshness.
  8. Optional additions: For enhanced flavor, you can add chopped onions or garlic to the crockpot before cooking.
  9. Storage tip: Leftovers freeze well and can be reheated for future quick meals.

Notes

  • This dish is perfect for slow cooking but can be adapted with a pressure cooker for faster preparation.
  • Adding onions or garlic before cooking boosts the flavor complexity.
  • Use low-sodium broth and gravy mix to reduce sodium content if desired.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or even buttered noodles for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers maintain their flavor well when frozen.
