- 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
To store leftovers, allow the Ranch Chicken to cool, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for about 2-3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating. For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes. Experiment with toppings like jalapeños or green onions.
