# Instructions:
01 -
First things first! I throw the boneless chicken breasts right into the crockpot. Pro tip: I like to give them a little pat down with paper towels to remove excess moisture before seasoning. This is where I always forget to salt the water—so just a heads up!
02 -
Next, sprinkle that ranch dressing mix over the chicken. I can’t even describe how good it smells! Then, plop the cream cheese right on top like a little cloud of deliciousness. I’ve been known to sneak a taste of the cream cheese directly from the package—don’t judge!
03 -
Now, pour in the chicken broth all around. Seriously, watching it swirl around the ranch and cream cheese is oddly satisfying! Make sure it covers the chicken, or it might dry out—trust me, I learned that the hard way!
04 -
Smash in those garlic cloves. I usually go for 3-4 since I love garlic. This is where I let my inner chef shine! Set your crockpot on low for about 6 hours (or 4 on high if you’re impatient like me!).
05 -
When it’s done, I pull out the chicken and shred it with two forks—oops, don’t forget to turn off the crockpot first! Then, mix it all back in. It’s messy but oh-so-satisfying! It should look creamy and dreamy!
06 -
Finally, sprinkle those green onions on top. It’s like confetti for dinner! Serve it over rice, pasta, or with some crusty bread to soak up all that goodness. I promise, you’ll want to inhale it!
# Notes:
01 -
Don’t skip the cream cheese! It’s what makes it creamy and dreamy. Be careful with the ranch mix; too much can be overpowering! I’ve had that experience-oops! Try adding veggies like broccoli or carrots for extra nutrition and flavor! Just toss them in at the beginning.
