Ingredients
1 packet hidden valley ranch dressing mix
10.5 ounces cream of chicken (canned )
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
Combine the ranch seasoning mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken stock in your slow cooker. Stir until well blended.
Place the chicken breasts into the crockpot, pressing them down to cover.
Cook on the low setting for 4 to 6 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Serve and enjoy this delicious meal.
Notes
The best way to ensure your chicken is perfectly cooked is to check for an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit or 74 degrees Celsius. The chicken should also shred easily with a fork.
While the cream of chicken soup and stock help keep the chicken moist, cooking within the specified time frame is key. Overcooking can lead to drier chicken, so start checking around the 4-hour mark.
Make sure the chicken is well coated in the ranch mixture before cooking for the most consistent flavor throughout.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can remove the chicken once cooked and let the sauce simmer uncovered on the stovetop for a few minutes, or mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a bit of water and stir it into the hot sauce.
