Instructions

If desired, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear each side for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden. This step adds extra flavor but is optional.
Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker.
In a bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing mix, gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth until smooth.
Pour the gravy mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and set aside. Stir the gravy to combine and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the chicken breasts with the gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.

Notes

If you prefer a thicker gravy, whisk in a bit of cornstarch mixed with water (about 1 tablespoon cornstarch to 1 tablespoon water) during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
For extra flavor, you can add garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs like thyme or rosemary to the gravy mixture.
Leftover chicken and gravy can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated on the stove or in the microwave.
You can substitute the chicken breasts with boneless, skinless chicken thighs for a juicier alternative.
This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
If you don’t have ranch seasoning, you can substitute with a packet of Italian seasoning or a homemade seasoning blend.
This recipe can be doubled for larger groups or meal prepping.
