Equipment
- Slow Cooker
- measuring cup
- Forks for shredding
Ingredients
- 2-2.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
- 1 can (10.5-15 oz) cream of chicken soup or ranch-style cooking sauce
Instructions
- Lightly grease the slow cooker insert to prevent sticking.
- Place the chicken in an even layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Pour the cream of chicken soup evenly over the chicken.
- Add the cubed cream cheese on top of the chicken and soup mixture.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 2.5-3 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Shred the chicken with two forks directly in the slow cooker and stir until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of milk or broth and stir to reach the desired consistency before serving.
Notes
If the sauce becomes too thick after cooking, add a splash of milk or chicken broth and stir until smooth. Full-fat cream cheese creates the creamiest texture.
