Ingredients
  

For the Main Dish

  • 1 packet Ranch Seasoning Mix Use homemade recipes or favorite store-bought mix.
For the Vegetables
  • 4 cups Broccoli Florets Can swap with mixed or any preferred veggies.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot, ensuring they are spread evenly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the buffalo wing sauce, low-sodium chicken broth, and ranch seasoning mix until well blended. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the crockpot.
  3. Cover the crockpot and let it cook on low for about 4 hours.
  4. Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot and stir in the cream cheese.
  5. Stir in the broccoli florets and shredded cheddar cheese. Cook on low for an additional 20 to 30 minutes.
  6. Serve your dish in bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
