Ingredients
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
-
1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
-
8 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
-
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
½ cup sour cream
Instructions
-
Gather all ingredients and allow the cream cheese to soften fully for easier blending.
-
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the crockpot. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
-
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken breasts.
-
In a bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with the chicken broth until smooth and well combined.
-
Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the seasoned chicken in the crockpot.
-
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
-
Just before serving, stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
-
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
-
Softened cream cheese helps ensure a smooth, lump-free sauce.
-
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain even heat.
-
The sauce will thicken slightly as it rests after cooking.
