Crock Pot Cream Cheese Chicken 3-Ingredient
Servings: 6
Ingredients
-
2 to 2½ pounds chicken breasts or thighs (no bones or skin)
-
1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese, soft or cut into chunks
-
1 can (10.5 to 15 ounces) cream of chicken soup or ranch sauce
Crock Pot Cream Cheese Chicken: Directions
-
Get the crock pot ready: Rub a little oil or spray inside a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker so food doesn’t stick and it’s easy to clean.
-
Add the chicken: Put the chicken in a flat layer at the bottom. It’s okay if pieces touch a bit—they’ll get smaller while cooking.
-
Pour on the soup: Spread the cream of chicken soup or ranch sauce all over the chicken with a spoon. No extra water needed—the chicken makes its own juice.
-
Top with cream cheese: Put the cream cheese on top. Cut it into small pieces and spread them out so it melts nice and even.
-
Cook it slow: Put the lid on. Cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours, or HIGH for 2½ to 3 hours. Check early since cookers are different. Chicken should be super soft and shred easy with a fork.
-
Shred the chicken: Turn off the heat or set to WARM. Use two forks to pull the chicken into small bites right in the pot.
-
Mix it up: Stir everything together until it’s creamy and smooth. If it’s too thick, add a little milk or chicken broth.
-
Taste and eat: Try a bit. Add salt or pepper if you want. Serve hot on noodles, rice, potatoes, or bread.
This creamy chicken goes great on egg noodles, mashed potatoes, rice, toast, or in sandwiches. Pair it with veggies like green beans, salad, or broccoli for a balanced meal.
