Who doesn’t love a slow cooker easy dinner recipe? This one can be a protein meal prep for the week too. With only 4 ingredients, and a crowd pleaser, you can go wrong.
Balanced meal options are put on a salad, potato, or wrap. I love to top with pickled onions too when I have a batch on hand. My kids love ranch chicken on buns, as sliders, or tortillas like a quesadilla with some cheese.
INGREDIENTS
-
3-4 lbs chicken breasts or turkey tenderloins
-
1-1.25 oz ranch powder packet, 1 T of the TJs ranch seasoning works too
-
8 oz light or regular cream cheese
-
1 c bone broth
STEPS
-
Place all ingredients in a slow cooker in the order listed and cook on high 3-4 hours or low 6-8.
-
Once cooked, shred with a fork or use a hand mixer to shred chicken. Add back to slow cooker and stir into sauce.

I’ve made this ranch chicken a couple of times, and it has always been a hit at our house and with my kids. It’s great for making for the week and then using on wraps, on top of salads, or on roasted potatoes.

Yay! Thanks so much for sharing
Can I use cottage cheese or yogurt instead of cream cheese?

I haven’t tried those swaps with this one.
