Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

To Serve

  • 6 sandwich buns or rolls
  • Optional toppings: sliced cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, or pickles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot to form an even layer.
  2. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the chicken breasts to season thoroughly.
  3. Add Liquids and Cream Cheese: Pour 1/2 cup of chicken broth over the chicken and then place the softened block of cream cheese on top of the mixture without stirring.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender enough to shred.
  5. Shred the Chicken: Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the crock pot, mixing it well so it combines with the creamy ranch sauce.
  6. Let it Absorb Flavors: Continue cooking on low for an additional 15 minutes to ensure the shredded chicken fully absorbs all the flavors.
  7. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spoon the creamy ranch chicken onto sandwich buns or rolls. Add your favorite optional toppings like sliced cheddar, crispy bacon, shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, or pickles, and serve warm.
