# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sear chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown to enhance flavor.
02 -
In the crock pot, combine cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly.
03 -
Place chicken breasts into the sauced crock pot and coat evenly with the mixture.
04 -
Cover and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours until chicken is fully cooked.
05 -
Remove chicken and shred it using two forks. Return shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir into the sauce.
06 -
Stir in sour cream for creaminess. Optionally, top with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh parsley before serving.
# Extra Suggestions:

Searing the chicken is optional but adds depth of flavor. Adding vegetables like broccoli or carrots can enhance nutritional value and variety. For a lighter dish, use low-fat cream of chicken soup and sour cream, and omit the cheese.
