Ingredients
2 lbs. (900 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 oz. (225 g) cream cheese, cut into cubes
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
Instructions
Start by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker. Make sure they are spread out so they cook evenly. Next, sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
After seasoning, add the cubed cream cheese on top of the chicken. There’s no need to stir at this stage—the cream cheese will melt slowly as it cooks, creating a rich and creamy sauce.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked. Once done, you can either leave the chicken breasts whole or shred them using two forks, depending on your preference.
Stir everything together well so the cream cheese blends with the ranch seasoning and chicken juices, forming a smooth and creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
