Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add boneless, skinless chicken breasts and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they achieve a light golden brown color.
  2. In your crock pot, combine the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
  3. Carefully place the seared chicken breasts into the crock pot, ensuring they are fully coated in the sauce.
  4. Cover the crock pot with its lid and set to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  5. Once the cooking time is up, remove the chicken using two forks and shred it in the sauce. Stir well.
  6. Stir in the sour cream to the shredded chicken mixture until fully incorporated. Garnish as desired.
