### How to Make It
#### 1. **Add everything to the slow cooker**:
Place the chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker. In a bowl, mix together the cream of chicken soup, gravy mix, ranch seasoning (if using), and broth or water until well combined. Pour it over the chicken.
#### 2. **Let it cook low and slow**:
Cover and cook on **low for 6–7 hours** or **high for 3–4 hours**, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
#### 3. **Shred or leave whole**:
You can shred the chicken right in the slow cooker or leave it in whole pieces. Stir everything around so that juicy gravy coats every bite.
#### 4. **Serve and devour**:
Spoon the chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles. Don’t forget a veggie on the side—and maybe some bread to mop up every last drop of gravy. (Or let the kids lick the pot. No judgment.)

### Pro Tips
– **Use thighs for extra tenderness**: Chicken thighs stay super juicy and soak up the gravy beautifully.
– **Add veggies**: Toss in some sliced mushrooms, onions, or frozen peas in the last hour for an all-in-one meal.
– **Make it creamy**: Stir in a little sour cream or cream cheese at the end if you want an even richer gravy.
– **Want thicker gravy?** Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water and stir it into the slow cooker about 30 minutes before serving.
