Instructions

Make the Gravy Base
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken gravy mix, ranch seasoning, cream of chicken soup, and water until well blended and smooth. -
Add the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your Crockpot. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional garlic or onion powder. -
Pour and Cover
Pour the prepared gravy mixture over the chicken. Add a pat of butter on top if using. Cover with the lid. -
Slow Cook
Cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and easily shreddable. -
Shred and Stir
Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the Crockpot. Stir it into the gravy until everything is well coated. -
Serve and Enjoy
Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or biscuits. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Use a Crockpot liner for easy cleanup. For a thicker gravy, stir in a cornstarch slurry during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Add frozen peas or mushrooms for extra flavor and texture. This dish freezes well for up to 3 months.
