Pioneer Woman Crockpot Ranch Chicken Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 packet ranch dressing mix
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

How To Make Pioneer Woman Crockpot Ranch Chicken

1. Prepare the Chicken: Gently place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot, spreading them out evenly.
2. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix evenly over the chicken. Add garlic powder and onion powder for extra flavor. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
3. Add Broth: Pour the chicken broth carefully around the chicken. The broth will help keep the chicken moist and tender while it cooks and will mix with the seasonings to create a flavorful sauce.
4. Set the Crockpot: Cover the crockpot with its lid. Set the crockpot to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The low and slow cooking process will ensure the chicken is tender and infused with the flavors of the ranch and spices.
5. Check and Shred the Chicken: Once the cooking time is up, check the chicken to ensure it’s fully cooked – it should be very tender and easily pulled apart with a fork. Shred the chicken in the crockpot using two forks. This will allow it to soak up the flavorful juices.
6. Serve: The shredded ranch chicken can be served in various ways – as a filling for tacos or sandwiches, over rice or pasta, or alongside vegetables for a balanced meal.
