Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups cooked pasta (penne or elbow)
2 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp ranch seasoning
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Add cooked pasta, chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, chicken broth, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker.
Stir gently to combine and ensure chicken is fully submerged.
Cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 1.5-2 hours.
Shred the chicken with two forks and stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is combined.
Serve warm with optional toppings like fresh herbs or diced green onions.
Notes
Use low-sodium chicken broth for a lighter version
Can add 2 cups of frozen broccoli to the slow cooker for added texture and nutrition
Let mixture rest for 5 minutes after cooking to thicken the sauce
