Ingredients
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 packet ranch seasoning mix (no MSG)
2 cups chicken bone broth
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in an even layer at the bottom of your slow cooker.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and chicken bone broth until smooth.
Pour the liquid mixture over the chicken, ensuring everything is well-coated.
Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or high for 4 hours until the chicken reaches 165°F.
Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the pot.
Stir in the softened cream cheese and heavy cream until the sauce is glossy and smooth.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth if the sauce thickens. For even silkier results, use boneless chicken thighs. To thicken the sauce further, whisk in a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
