4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the ranch seasoning mix, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
Assemble in Crock Pot: Place the seared chicken breasts in the bottom of the Crock Pot. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are covered.
Add Garnishes: Sprinkle the chopped sun dried tomatoes and grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Serve: Once done, serve the chicken with the creamy sauce over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs if desired.
