Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Seasoning & Sauces
- 1 packet (1 oz) dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 packet (0.87 oz) chicken gravy mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Others
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly in the base of the slow cooker.
- Add seasonings: Sprinkle the dry ranch seasoning mix, chicken gravy mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Add liquids: Pour the cream of chicken soup and the low-sodium chicken broth over the seasoned chicken. Gently stir to combine the ingredients without disturbing the chicken placement too much.
- Add butter: Place the tablespoon of unsalted butter on top of the chicken mixture to add richness to the gravy as it cooks.
- Slow cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or alternatively on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Shred the chicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken in the slow cooker using two forks, mixing it thoroughly with the gravy to combine flavors.
- Serve: Serve the tender shredded chicken and savory gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or warm biscuits for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- Use low-sodium chicken broth to control salt levels in the dish.
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if preferred; adjust cooking time accordingly.
- For thicker gravy, remove the lid in the last 30 minutes to reduce excess liquid.
- This dish freezes well; store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
