This recipe is a fantastic option for busy weeknights when you want a comforting dish with minimal effort. By using your Crockpot, you can let the slow cooker work its magic while you go about your day. The result is a tender, juicy chicken with a luscious, creamy garlic sauce that’s perfect over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme.
Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and sour cream (if using). Stir well until smooth.
Layer in Crockpot: Place the seasoned chicken breasts at the bottom of the Crockpot. Pour the creamy sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly covered.
Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the Crockpot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the Crockpot and stir to combine.
Serve: Serve the creamy garlic chicken over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
