Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet 1 oz ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 can 10.5 oz condensed cream of chicken soup
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika optional
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices cooked and crumbled bacon optional
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot.
  2. Mix the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together ranch seasoning, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, cream cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika.
  3. Slow cook: Pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
  4. Shred the chicken: Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. Stir to coat with the creamy sauce.
  5. Add cheese and bacon: Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon (if using). Cover and cook for another 5 minutes until the cheese melts.
  6. Serve and garnish: Serve warm over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
  • For a lighter version, substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt.
  • Add steamed broccoli or peas for extra veggies.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
