Ingredients
 

  • 4 pieces chicken breasts (about 3 lbs more or less), skinless and boneless
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 8 oz package cream cheese, divided into 4 portions or cubed
  • 1 oz packet dry ranch seasoning (or 3 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 bunch green onions or scallions, (optional) thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken breast at the bottom of a slow cooker or crockpot. Pour the chicken broth in then sprinkle with dry ranch seasoning all over. Top with cream the cheese. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or 6 hours on low until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  • Shred the chicken and mix all ingredients until incorporated. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese all over. Cover again and continue to cook just until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle all over with sliced green onions, if desired.
  • Serve immediately and pair with rice, pasta, or mashed/baked potatoes with some green veggies on the side. It's great as a party appetizer too when served with your favorite savory crackers.
