Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 3 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts Thighs can be used for juicier taste.
For the Creamy Sauce
  • 1 packet Ranch Seasoning Mix Homemade seasoning can be fresher and tastier.
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Make sure to soften it first for easier mixing.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream No substitutions recommended for best flavor.
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth Opt for low-sodium for a healthier version.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh garlic can boost flavor even further.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Enhances overall taste without adding crunch.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Adjust according to your preference.
For Serving (Optional)
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Omit for a lighter meal.
  • Chives or Parsley Fresh garnishes for color and freshness.

Equipment

  • 4-6 quart crockpot

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by placing the boneless skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your 4-6 quart crockpot in a single layer.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the ranch seasoning mix, softened cream cheese, sour cream, and chicken broth. Add in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly covered. Use a spatula to spread the sauce around if necessary.
  4. Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 4 hours or on HIGH for 2-2.5 hours until the chicken is tender.
  5. Once the chicken is tender, shred the meat directly in the crockpot and stir to combine with the creamy sauce.
  6. If desired, stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and incorporated into the sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Scoop out portions onto plates and garnish with chives or parsley. Serve with favorite sides like rice, pasta, or toasted rolls.
