Equipment

  • Slow cooker
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • 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
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

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

The beauty of these slow cooker recipes is their versatility. Feel free to experiment with different flavors and ingredients!
Try adding different herbs and spices, using different colored peppers, or even swapping the chicken for another protein like boneless pork loin or tofu.
