How to make it
This recipe is so simple to just throw it all together. All you have to do is:

Place– chicken breasts in the mixture and be sure they are submerged in the liquid.
Cook– for 3-4 hours on high.

Top– with any desired toppings. My personal favorites are cilantro, cheese, avocado, sour cream, and tortilla chips!
What is Fiesta Ranch seasoning?
- Fiesta Ranch Seasoning is made by Hidden Valley and is located with the ranch seasoning dip packets in your local grocery store. Although I do feel as though this gives the perfect flavor combination, at times it does become difficult to find. In this case, you could use half a packet of ranch seasoning and half a packet of taco seasoning for a similar substitute.
Storage
To store this soup, place in an air-tight container and store in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
