Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 small red potatoes quartered
  • 1 cup baby carrots halved
  • 1 10¾ oz can cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 oz packet dry ranch dressing mix or about 3 tablespoons
  • 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients

  • Cut cooked chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  • Wash and quarter red potatoes; slice carrots in half.
  • Lightly grease the inside of your Crock Pot with butter or nonstick spray.

Assemble the Stew

  • Place potatoes, carrots, and cooked chicken into the slow cooker.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, milk, chicken broth, sour cream, and ranch dressing mix until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir gently to coat evenly.
  • Add parsley flakes, salt, and pepper to taste.

Cook the Stew

  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender and the sauce is thick and creamy.
  • Stir occasionally during the last hour to blend flavors and textures.

Serve

  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with extra parsley or a sprinkle of shredded cheese if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread or biscuits for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream near the end of cooking.
  • Swap chicken for turkey or leftover rotisserie meat.
  • Stir in a handful of frozen peas or corn during the last 30 minutes for added texture and color.
  • Want a thicker stew? Mash a few potatoes in the Crock Pot just before serving.
  • Pairs perfectly with warm rolls, cornbread, or a crisp green salad.
