Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups (optional, for serving) cooked rice or pasta
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, cream cheese (softened for easier mixing), chicken broth, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the cheese mixture over the chicken breasts, making sure they are fully covered.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot or leave it whole, depending on your preference.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and mix until it melts into the sauce.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the cheesy chicken mixture over cooked rice or pasta, if desired.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
Enjoy your comforting Easy Cheesy Chicken Crock Pot meal!
