Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
- 4 ounces light cream cheese, softened
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Spray the inside of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or line it with a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot. Season them with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the reduced-sodium chicken broth, fat-free Greek yogurt, softened light cream cheese, ranch seasoning mix, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Pour the creamy ranch mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 5
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Step 6
Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the crock pot or leave the breasts whole if preferred.
Step 7
Stir the sauce to ensure it’s smooth and evenly distributed over the chicken.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Step 9
Serve the creamy ranch chicken over rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a lighter option. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish if desired.
