Description
A creamy, savory chicken dish featuring ranch seasoning and cream cheese, cooked slowly for maximum flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked green onions (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by placing the breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker, ensuring they are spread out evenly.
- Add the ranch dressing mix evenly over the chicken, ensuring every piece is well coated.
- Cut the softened cream cheese into cubes and scatter them on top of the chicken.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 360 minutes or on high for about 240 minutes.
- Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, cover, and allow it to melt for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with green onions if using, before serving.
Notes
For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving, and consider adding hot sauce for a kick.
