Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. If desired, heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in olive oil for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  2. In the crockpot, mix together the cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  3. Gently place the seared chicken breasts into the mixture, making sure they are completely submerged.
  4. Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  5. Once cooking time is complete, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot.
  6. Stir in the sour cream, mixing thoroughly.
