Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of chicken soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 packet (1 oz) Ranch dressing mix
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or line it with a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
2. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot in an even layer.
3. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken in the crock pot, ensuring that the chicken is fully coated with the sauce.
5. Add the unsalted butter in small pats, distributing them on top of the sauce mixture.
6. Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6-8 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
7. Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot or serve the chicken whole with the sauce spooned over it.
8. Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor before serving. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
