Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
  • 8 oz Velveeta or mild cheese, shredded or cubed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Optional: 1/4 cup diced green chilies or jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Lightly season the chicken breasts or thighs with garlic powder and a pinch of salt. Dice any optional chilies or jalapeños if using. Having all ingredients ready will make assembly quick and easy.
  2. Layer the Slow Cooker: Place the chicken pieces evenly in the bottom of the slow cooker. Spread the softened cream cheese evenly over the chicken. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix on top, followed by the shredded or cubed Velveeta cheese. Pour the chicken broth over everything to help create a flavorful sauce as it cooks.
  3. Cook Low and Slow: Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 4 to 6 hours. This slow cooking process will make the chicken tender and allow the cheeses to melt into a smooth, creamy sauce.
  4. Shred and Stir: Once the chicken is fully cooked, shred it inside the slow cooker using two forks. Stir well to combine the shredded chicken with the melted cheeses and seasonings evenly.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Slow Cooker Angel Chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs or diced green onions if desired. Pair with your favorite sides like steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or vegetables.

Notes

  • Use fresh, quality chicken for best tenderness and flavor.
  • Do not skip the cream cheese—it provides the key silky texture to the sauce.
  • Cooking on low heat for several hours ensures juicier, more flavorful results.
  • Wait until chicken is fully cooked before shredding to maintain moisture.
  • Customize spice level by adjusting chilies or seasoning to preference.
