Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom for a richer flavor)
  • 1 (1 oz) packet dry ranch dressing mix
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (or water)
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion or minced garlic optional for added flavor

Equipment

  • Crockpot
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Lightly grease your crockpot with cooking spray to help prevent the chicken from sticking.
  2. Place the chicken breasts or thighs into the bottom of the crockpot.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, ranch dressing mix, and chicken broth until smooth. Add the optional chopped onion or minced garlic if desired.
  4. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken in the crockpot.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork.
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir to coat with the sauce.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
