Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 ounce ranch seasoning mix 1 packet
- 1 cup buffalo wing sauce Adjust according to your spice preference
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup green onions, sliced For garnish
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder Optional
- 1 tablespoon onion powder Optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the bottom of your crockpot.
- In a small bowl, combine the ranch seasoning mix, buffalo wing sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder (if using). Stir until well mixed.
- Pour the spicy ranch mixture over the chicken breasts in the crockpot, ensuring that the chicken is well coated.
- Cover the crockpot with its lid. Set it on low and let it cook for 6-8 hours. For a quicker version, set it to high for 3-4 hours.
Finishing Touches
- Once the cooking time has elapsed, take two forks and shred the chicken right in the crockpot.
- Cube the softened cream cheese and add it to the shredded chicken mixture. Stir until fully melted and incorporated.
- Top it off with the shredded cheddar cheese and allow the lid to sit for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
Don't overcook the chicken; ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Customize your spice level by adjusting buffalo sauce. Use quality ingredients for the best flavor.
