Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Sauce
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 packet dry Italian dressing mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts evenly in the bottom of the crockpot to form the base of your dish.
- Mix the Sauce Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the ranch seasoning mix, dry Italian dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, and butter. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Sauce to Chicken: Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring the chicken is fully covered.
- Cook the Chicken: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and fully cooked through.
- Shred and Mix: Once cooked, shred the chicken breasts using two forks directly in the crockpot. Stir everything together to create a creamy and evenly mixed sauce with shredded chicken.
- Serve: Serve the creamy shredded chicken and sauce hot over your choice of rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta for a hearty meal.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened before mixing to help it blend smoothly into the sauce.
- You can use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts if you prefer darker meat.
- For a lower fat option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and butter substitutes.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stove or in the microwave.
- This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad to balance the richness.
