Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  1. Place Chicken in Slow Cooker: Arrange chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Add Seasoning Mixes: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning and au jus gravy mix evenly over the chicken.
  3. Pour in Chicken Broth: This keeps the chicken juicy and helps create a flavorful sauce.

Step 2: Add Creamy Elements

  1. Cut the Butter & Cream Cheese: Slice the butter and cream cheese into small pieces.
  2. Top the Chicken: Distribute the butter and cream cheese over the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

  1. Cover & Cook:
    • Low: 6-8 hours
    • High: 3-4 hours
  2. Check for Doneness: The chicken should be fork-tender and easily shredded.

Step 4: Shred & Mix

  1. Shred the Chicken: Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker.
  2. Mix Well: Stir until the sauce is evenly distributed, making the chicken extra creamy and flavorful.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

  1. Plate the Chicken: Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
  2. Drizzle with Ranch Dressing: For an extra creamy, tangy kick.
  3. Garnish with Fresh Parsley: Adds a pop of color and freshness.

Cooking Notes

  • Make it Spicy: Add ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Use Chicken Thighs: For even juicier, more tender meat, swap chicken breasts for boneless thighs.
  • Extra Creamy Texture: Stir in ½ cup sour cream before serving.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with Mashed Potatoes: The creamy sauce is perfectly spooned over mashed potatoes.
  • Serve with Roasted Veggies: Roasted carrots, green beans, or asparagus make a great side.
  • Use as a Sandwich Filling: Serve on toasted buns with lettuce for an amazing chicken sandwich.

Tips

  1. Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  2. Freezing: Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight and reheat in a saucepan.
  3. Reheating: Warm on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth or milk if needed.
