Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes to 6 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 6
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American, Amish-Inspired
Cooking Method: Slow Cooker
Ingredients
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cans (10.5 oz each) condensed cream of chicken soup
½ cup chicken broth
1 packet (1 oz) dry ranch seasoning mix
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken: Lightly grease a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker and arrange the chicken breasts evenly along the bottom.
Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and ranch seasoning until smooth.
Combine: Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated.
Slow Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Shred the Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the slow cooker.
Serve: Stir the chicken into the creamy sauce and let it sit for 5–10 minutes. Serve warm over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
Notes
Chicken Options: Boneless chicken thighs work well instead of chicken breasts.
Extra Creamy Sauce: Use the recommended amount of broth and avoid adding unnecessary liquid.
Lower Sodium: Choose reduced-sodium soup and low-sodium chicken broth.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
Freezing: Freeze for up to 2–3 months for best quality.
Reheating: Reheat leftovers thoroughly to 165°F (74°C).
Serving Suggestions
Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, steamed broccoli, green beans, or fluffy white rice for a delicious family dinner.
Recipe Tip: For the juiciest chicken, begin checking for doneness near the start of the recommended cooking time to prevent overcooking.
