Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, cream cheese, chicken broth, and garlic powder until smooth.
2. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker.
3. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken.
4. Dot the top with small cubes of butter.
5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.
6. Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker or serve whole.
7. Stir to combine everything in the creamy sauce and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For extra creaminess, use full-fat cream cheese and let it soften before mixing.
Add chopped vegetables like mushrooms or carrots during the last 2 hours of cooking.
This dish pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
