Crockpot Chicken Creamy Gravy (Print Version)

Tender chicken simmered in a slow cooker with ranch seasoning and cream of chicken soup, creating a delicious creamy gravy.

# Ingredients:

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
03 - 1 packet (1 oz) dry ranch seasoning mix
04 - 1/2 cup chicken broth
05 - 1/2 cup sour cream
06 - 1 tbsp olive oil
07 - Salt, to taste
08 - Pepper, to taste
09 - Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to enhance flavor during cooking.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. This step adds flavor but can be skipped if short on time.
03 - Place the seasoned or seared chicken breasts in the crockpot.
04 - In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, dry ranch seasoning mix, and chicken broth. Stir until well mixed.
05 - Pour the soup mixture over the chicken, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
06 - Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked and tender.
07 - About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the sour cream gently to make the gravy rich and creamy.
08 - Serve the chicken with gravy spooned on top. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley. Pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or a side dish.
