Ingredients Needed

Chicken – You will want to use any boneless raw chicken you have. I do recommend trimming the chicken first. Remove the skin and any fat or tendons on the meat.

Cream of Chicken Soup – You are welcome to swap out with other cream of condensed soups if you would like. Cream of mushroom soup, celery, broccoli, etc. work.

Ranch Seasoning Mix – You will want to use dry ranch seasoning. I do have a recipe to make a homemade dry ranch seasoning if you would like.

Chicken Broth – You can use chicken bone broth or chicken stock for this as well. This can be substituted with a low sodium if you are watching your sodium level.

Variations To Recipe

• Instead of ranch use a dry gravy packet in replacement. I recommend a packet of chicken gravy for this.
• Feel free to season the chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder or garlic powder before you pour over the gravy ingredients.
• 30 minutes before you are ready to serve it up, stir in 1/3 cup of sour cream. This will make a creamy gravy that is richer in flavor.
• You can use pre shredded chicken if you have leftover chicken on hand.

How to Make

Full directions on how to make this chicken gravy are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a visual walk through teaching you how to make this chicken slow cooker recipe.

Step One: Grab your fresh chicken breasts and place in your slow cooker. Place in a single layer.

Step Two: Next you will add the ranch seasoning, cream of chicken soup, and the broth into the crock pot.

Step Three: Stir to combine the ingredients and then cook on low for 4-6 hours or high 2-3 hours. You want to make sure the chicken reaches 165 degrees F internally.

Step Four: Remove the chicken from the crock pot and place on a baking dish or cutting board and shred the chicken. You can use meat claws or two forks to shred the chicken apart.

Step Five: Place the chicken back into the crock pot and then serve over brown rice, mashed potatoes, egg noodles, etc.

Season with parsley, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Note: Large chicken breasts can take longer to cook. Make sure to use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature to ensure the chicken fully cooks.

Storing

Refrigerate any leftover chicken and gravy you do not eat. Just store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Then you can warm up in the microwave or opt to heat up on the stove in a skillet. Just stir often or it will burn.

You can freeze any leftovers. Store in a freezer container for up to 4 months. Then thaw in the fridge overnight before you go to reheat. This is a great way to keep the chicken breast in crock pot moist when it freezes and thaws, it won’t be dried out.
