  • Total Time: 8 hours
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 oz packet dry ranch dressing mix

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)

  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Rinse the chicken breasts under cool water and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut into one-inch pieces if desired.

  • Place the chicken in the bottom of the crockpot.

  • Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over the chicken.

  • Sprinkle the dry ranch dressing mix and garlic powder on top.

  • Pour the low-sodium chicken broth over all ingredients.

  • Cover the crockpot with its lid.

  • Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

  • Once done, stir gently to combine the sauce with the chicken.

  • Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, pasta, or use as a filling for wraps and sandwiches.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese or substitute with plain Greek yogurt.

  • Add vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or mushrooms during the last hour of cooking for extra flavor and nutrition.

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
