Equipment

- Spatula
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 can 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 block 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
Prepare the Slow Cooker
- Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or use a liner for easy cleanup.
Combine Ingredients
- Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the ranch seasoning mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, garlic powder, and onion powder. Pour this mixture over the chicken breasts.
Add Cream Cheese
- Cut the cream cheese into cubes and scatter them over the chicken mixture in the slow cooker.
Cook
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easily shred with a fork.
Shred the Chicken
- Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the slow cooker. Stir the shredded chicken into the sauce until well combined.
Add Cheddar Cheese
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the chicken mixture. Cover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot over rice, pasta, or with a side of steamed vegetables.
Notes
