Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each side of the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  2. In your crock pot, combine the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir well until blended and smooth.
  3. Carefully place the seared chicken breasts into the sauce mixture, ensuring they're well coated.
  4. Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  5. Once cooking time is done, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot and stir it back into the sauce.
  6. Mix in the sour cream until combined and top with shredded cheddar and parsley.
