Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 ounces)
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (1 ounce)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lightly coat the slow cooker insert with nonstick spray if desired. Place the chicken breasts in an even layer at the bottom.
  2. Pour the cream of chicken soup over the chicken.
  3. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning on top, add the chicken broth, and scatter the cream cheese cubes over everything.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or on high for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  2. Remove the lid and stir the sauce until the cream cheese is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Shred the chicken with two forks or leave the breasts whole, depending on how you want to serve it.

Notes

Serve hot over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes with the creamy sauce spooned generously over the top. For added flavor, consider adding garlic or onion powder or tossing in some vegetables during cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or frozen for up to three months.
