Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. If you choose to enhance flavor, heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the boneless, skinless chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.
  2. In your crock pot, mix together the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and a sprinkle of black pepper. Stir until everything is well combined and smooth.
  3. Carefully place the seared chicken breasts into the sauce mixture in your crock pot, covering each piece with the creamy sauce.
  4. Cover the crock pot and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked.
  5. Use two forks to shred the chicken right in the crock pot, mixing it back into the creamy sauce.
  6. Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and garnish with fresh parsley.
