Preparation

- Place the chicken breasts into the crockpot and coat them with the sauce mixture.
Cooking
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through.
- Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and stir it into the creamy sauce.
- Stir in sour cream for extra creaminess and flavor. Garnish with shredded cheese and parsley, if desired.
Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze the chicken for up to 2-3 months. Just ensure to cool it completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container. For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in ranch dressing for a few hours before cooking. Adjust the seasonings to your taste by adding more spices or herbs. Use low-sodium cream of chicken soup and broth if you prefer a lighter option.
