Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot in a single layer.
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.
Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper on top of the chicken for additional seasoning.
Pour the chicken broth over and around the chicken to prevent it from drying out during cooking.
Place the block of cream cheese on top of the chicken. No need to stir; it will melt and mix as it cooks.
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).
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.
Stir everything well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, pasta, or alongside steamed vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color if desired.
