Ingredients
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (fresh or frozen)
1 packet (1 oz) dry ranch seasoning mix
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Place chicken breasts in the crock pot.
2. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning evenly over the chicken.
3. Pour chicken broth over everything.
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.
5. Remove the chicken and shred with two forks.
6. Stir Greek yogurt into the cooking liquid, then return shredded chicken and coat.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
Prep the night before by adding all ingredients to the crock pot insert and refrigerating until ready to cook.
Double the batch for meal prep and freeze half for later.
Do not skip the Greek yogurt step; it makes the sauce creamy and luxurious.
For a thicker sauce, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp cold water) after shredding the chicken and cook on HIGH 10-15 minutes.
