Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet 1 oz ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika optional, for a smoky flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Add-Ins:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream or cream cheese for extra creaminess
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas or sliced mushrooms to add texture and nutrients
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Season the chicken breasts or thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • If using fresh vegetables, chop them into small pieces for even cooking.

Step 2: Set Up the Slow Cooker

  • Lightly grease the slow cooker with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
  • Pour a few tablespoons of chicken broth into the bottom of the slow cooker to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Layer the Ingredients

  • Arrange the seasoned chicken in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, remaining chicken broth, and ranch seasoning mix. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken.
  • Add optional vegetables on top, if desired.

Step 4: Cook the Dish

  • Set the slow cooker to low heat for 6-7 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain a consistent temperature.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

  • About 30 minutes before serving, stir in sour cream or cream cheese, if using, to enhance the creaminess of the gravy.
  • Gently shred the chicken using two forks or leave it whole for a more traditional presentation.
  • Stir the sauce to ensure everything is evenly combined.

Step 6: Plate and Enjoy

  • Serve the creamy chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
