Kitchen Equipment Needed:

Slow cooker
Mixing bowl
Whisk or spoon
Measuring cups and spoons
Cutting board
Knife

Ingredients:

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 ounce)
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

Prepare the slow cooker: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Season the chicken: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper evenly over the chicken.
Add the cream cheese: Distribute the cream cheese cubes on top of the seasoned chicken.
Add the broth: Pour the chicken broth into the slow cooker around the chicken, ensuring it doesn’t wash away the seasoning on top.
Cook the chicken: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
Shred the chicken: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir the mixture to combine the shredded chicken with the melted cream cheese and seasoning.
Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture and stir to combine. Cover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.
Garnish and serve: If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy the crack chicken over rice, pasta, or with a side of your choice.
