- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until fully blended.
- Pour the creamy ranch mixture over the chicken in the crockpot, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.
- Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
- Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken right inside the crockpot. Stir to combine it with the creamy sauce.
- If desired, add frozen peas and cook on high for an additional 15 minutes until heated through.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top and allow it to melt for about 5 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
