Ingredients
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
1 packet (1 oz) ranch dressing mix
-
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
-
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
-
1/2 cup heavy cream
-
1/4 cup chicken broth
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Fresh basil or parsley (for garnish, optional)
- Cooked rice, pasta, or vegetables (for serving)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken:
-
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
-
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden brown. (This step is optional but helps to lock in flavor and moisture.)
-
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the crockpot.
-
-
Make the Creamy Sauce:
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing mix, sun-dried tomatoes, cream of chicken soup, heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic, and Parmesan cheese until smooth and combined.
-
-
Slow Cook:
-
Pour the creamy sauce mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, making sure the chicken is well-covered with sauce.
-
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
-
-
Serve:
-
Once the chicken is cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the crockpot and place them on a serving plate.
-
Stir the sauce in the crockpot, then pour the sauce over the chicken.
-
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve over rice, pasta, or your favorite vegetables.
Notes
-
For added flavor, you can use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts.
-
If you prefer a richer flavor, increase the Parmesan cheese to the sauce.
-
This recipe can easily be doubled if you need to serve a larger crowd.
-
You can add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers to the sauce for extra nutrition and flavor.
- This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
