Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1 can (10.75 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pound egg noodles
Instructions
Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2: Add the Chicken
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Step 3: Mix the Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and garlic powder. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
Step 4: Assemble
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken breasts. Add the butter and cream cheese on top. These will melt into the sauce as it cooks, creating a rich, creamy texture.
Step 5: Cook
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fork-tender.
Step 6: Cook Noodles
About 30 minutes before the chicken is done, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 7: Shred and Stir
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return it to the sauce and stir to combine.
Step 8: Serve
Serve the creamy ranch chicken over the egg noodles and enjoy!
Notes
If you prefer a thicker sauce, leave the lid off during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow moisture to evaporate.
