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)

Finishing

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

Optional Add-ins

  • Chopped onions (optional)
  • Minced garlic (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the crockpot, spreading them evenly in the bottom.
  2. Mix the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, brown gravy mix, chicken broth, and cream of chicken soup. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Sauce to Chicken: Pour the prepared sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
  4. Cook: Set the crockpot to low heat and cook the chicken for 6 hours, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender enough to shred.
  5. Shred the Chicken: Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot into bite-sized pieces, mixing it with the gravy.
  6. Add Sour Cream and Season: Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated into the gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing well.
  7. Serve: Serve the creamy chicken and gravy over your choice of rice or mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley for freshness and color.
  8. Optional Flavor Enhancements: For added depth of flavor, consider stirring in chopped onions or minced garlic before cooking.
  9. Storage Tip: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and freeze well for future meals, making this recipe convenient to prepare in advance.

Notes

  • For richer flavor, try adding sautéed onions and garlic before adding the sauce mixture.
  • Make sure not to overcook the chicken to avoid dryness—6 hours on low is ideal.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
  • Leftover chicken and gravy can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • To reheat, thaw if frozen and warm gently on the stovetop or microwave until heated through.
