2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, cut into large cubes
2 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning mix (store-bought packet or homemade)
Place the chicken in an even layer on the bottom of the slow cooker. If you’re using both breasts and thighs, mix them together so they cook evenly.
Sprinkle the dry ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken, making sure most of the surface is lightly coated. This will season both the meat and the sauce as it cooks.
Scatter the cream cheese cubes over the top of the seasoned chicken. There’s no need to stir at this point; the cream cheese will soften and melt as it cooks.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or on HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the chicken is very tender and easily shreds with a fork.
