Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot in a single layer.
Step 2
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.
Step 3
Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper on top of the chicken for additional seasoning.
Step 4
Pour the chicken broth over and around the chicken to prevent it from drying out during cooking.
Step 5
Place the block of cream cheese on top of the chicken. No need to stir; it will melt and mix as it cooks.
Step 6
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours, or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Step 7
Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the crock pot using two forks, mixing it with the melted cream cheese and cooking liquids to create a creamy consistency.
Step 8
Stir everything well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Step 9
Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, pasta, or alongside steamed vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color if desired.
