Crockpot Angel Chicken is the ultimate comfort food for those busy nights when you want something hearty, creamy, and absolutely delicious without spending hours in the kitchen. The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity—chicken breasts slow-cooked in a rich, creamy sauce made with cream cheese, ranch dressing, and a perfect blend of seasonings. As the chicken cooks, it becomes tender and infused with the creamy sauce, making it a perfect pairing with rice, pasta, or vegetables. You can swap the ranch dressing for a homemade version or use Greek yogurt for a lighter option. Best enjoyed on busy weeknights, family dinners, or any time you're craving something comforting with minimal effort.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 (1 oz) packet ranch dressing mix
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, chicken broth, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Once the chicken is done, shred it with two forks and stir it into the sauce to coat evenly.
Serve the shredded chicken with your choice of rice, pasta, or vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
