Instructions

Preparation

Add chicken to the slow cooker in an even layer.
Sprinkle ranch seasoning over the chicken.
Add cream cheese in chunks on top. If using cream of chicken soup, spoon it over everything. If using sour cream, wait until the end to add it.
Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 2.5-3.5 hours.
Once cooked, shred the chicken in the crock pot and stir to coat with the creamy ranch sauce.

Notes

For leftovers, it makes great sandwiches, tacos, and casseroles. Optional add-ins include shredded cheese, cooked bacon, chopped jalapenos, or vegetables like mushrooms and spinach. Store in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for 2-3 months. Reheat gently to avoid sauce separation.
