Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 packet (1 oz) ranch dressing mix

1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup frozen corn

1 cup assorted bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow, and green)

1/2 cup onion, finely diced

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for serving)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: Start by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly at the bottom of your slow cooker. This will serve as the base for the dish, allowing the flavors to infuse into the chicken.

    Seasoning Mix: In a medium bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing mix, chicken broth, heavy cream, garlic powder, and onion powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This fragrant mix will coat the chicken and provide a creamy texture to the overall dish.

      Add Veggies: Gently layer the sliced assorted bell peppers, finely diced onion, and frozen corn over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Spreading the vegetables evenly will ensure they cook thoroughly and integrate well with the chicken.

        Pour the Mixture: Carefully pour the prepared ranch dressing mixture over the layered chicken and veggies, making sure everything is nicely coated. This will help create a delicious, flavor-packed sauce.

          Cook: Secure the lid on your slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is done when it is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

            Shred the Chicken: Once the cooking time is complete, use two forks to shred the chicken directly inside the slow cooker. Mix it thoroughly with the sauce and vegetables. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed to adjust the flavor according to your preference.

              Serve: Ladle the ranchy chicken mixture into serving bowls. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top for an extra layer of deliciousness, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a pop of color and freshness before serving.
