Ingredients
  

Main Components
  • 2.5 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet Dry Ranch Seasoning Mix Standard 1 oz packet
  • 8 oz Cream cheese Cubed
  • 0.5 cup Chicken broth Low sodium preferred
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 5 or 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Sprinkle the entire packet of dry Ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.
  3. Pour the chicken broth around the sides of the chicken, avoiding pouring directly onto the seasoning.
  4. Distribute the cubed cream cheese evenly over the top of the chicken breasts. Sprinkle with garlic powder.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.
  6. Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir well to combine with the melted sauce until completely coated.
  7. Serve immediately over rice, in tortillas, or on buns.

Notes

For extra spice, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes with the seasoning mix. This recipe freezes and reheats very well.
