Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet 1 oz ranch dressing mix
  • 1 packet 1 oz gravy mix (chicken or brown gravy)
  • 1 can 10.5 oz cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil optional, for searing
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • If desired, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear each side for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden. This step adds extra flavor but is optional.
  • Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing mix, gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth until smooth.
  • Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and set aside. Stir the gravy to combine and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve the chicken breasts with the gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.

Notes

  • If you prefer a thicker gravy, whisk in a bit of cornstarch mixed with water (about 1 tablespoon cornstarch to 1 tablespoon water) during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • For extra flavor, you can add garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs like thyme or rosemary to the gravy mixture.
  • Leftover chicken and gravy can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated on the stove or in the microwave.
  • You can substitute the chicken breasts with boneless, skinless chicken thighs for a juicier alternative.
  • This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
  • If you don’t have ranch seasoning, you can substitute with a packet of Italian seasoning or a homemade seasoning blend.
  • This recipe can be doubled for larger groups or meal prepping.
