Ingredients

Scale

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 can)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Seasoning and Garnish:

  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the crockpot, arranging them evenly to ensure even cooking.
  2. Mix the Gravy: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing mix, brown gravy mix, chicken broth, and cream of chicken soup until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine: Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, making sure the chicken is well coated with the sauce for maximum flavor.
  4. Cook: Cover 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: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, mixing it well with the surrounding gravy.
  6. Add Sour Cream and Season: Stir in the sour cream thoroughly, then season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  7. Serve: Serve the chicken and gravy hot over rice or mashed potatoes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
  8. Optional Add-Ins: For enhanced flavor, consider adding chopped onions or garlic to the crockpot at the beginning of the cooking process.
  9. Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and also freeze well for future meals.

Notes

  • Cooking on low heat for 6 hours ensures tender, juicy chicken and a rich, flavorful gravy.
  • Adding onions or garlic at the start can deepen the flavor of the dish.
  • This dish pairs well with sides like rice, mashed potatoes, or buttered noodles.
  • Leftovers freeze well; thaw completely and reheat gently before serving.
  • If you prefer thicker gravy, you can add a slurry of cornstarch and water during the last 30 minutes.
