Savory Ranch Chicken Delight is your ticket to a stress-free dinner that doesn’t skimp on flavor. With a creamy, herby sauce enveloping tender chicken, it’s the perfect way to transform simple ingredients into a comforting meal.
The star of the show, chicken breasts, provide a lean, protein-packed base. They soak up the creamy, flavorful sauce, becoming delightfully tender. The ranch seasoning mix gives this dish its signature tangy, herby goodness. Mixing it with sour cream adds creaminess and a touch of richness that balances perfectly with the lightness of the chicken. Chicken broth helps to thin the sauce just enough, keeping it from becoming overly thick and ensuring the chicken stays moist.
Olive oil adds a little fat for flavor and helps carry the seasonings. Garlic powder and onion powder add depth, while a pinch of black pepper offers a hint of heat. The dried herbs, dill and parsley, round out the flavor profile with freshness and earthiness.
This dish pairs wonderfully with fluffy mashed potatoes or a simple rice pilaf to soak up the delicious sauce. For a lighter option, serve it alongside steamed green beans or a crisp side salad with a zesty vinaigrette.
First, grab your trusty slow cooker and arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom. This helps them cook evenly and soak up the flavors of the sauce. In a separate bowl, combine the ranch seasoning mix, sour cream, chicken broth, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dried dill, and dried parsley. Stir until you have a smooth, uniform mixture.
Pour this creamy concoction over the chicken, ensuring each piece is fully coated. This is where all the magic happens — as the chicken cooks, it will absorb all those lovely flavors. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, depending on your schedule and preference. Once done, the chicken should be fully cooked and incredibly tender.
