Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
1 packet of ranch dressing mix
1 packet of brown gravy mix
1 can (10.5 oz) of cream of chicken soup
1 cup of chicken broth
1/2 cup of water
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken: Start by placing the chicken breasts (or thighs) at the bottom of the crockpot. You can season them with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
Make the Gravy Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, brown gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and water. Stir everything together until smooth and well mixed.
Pour Over Chicken: Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the chicken in the crockpot, making sure the chicken is well-coated with the sauce. If necessary, use a spoon to spread the mixture out.
Slow Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easy to shred with a fork when done.
Shred the Chicken (Optional): Once the chicken is cooked, you can either serve the chicken breasts whole or shred them directly in the crockpot using two forks. If you prefer a more shredded, pulled chicken texture, shred the chicken and mix it into the gravy.
Serve: Once your chicken is cooked and shredded, give the gravy a good stir to combine with the chicken. Serve it hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or even biscuits for a comforting meal.
