Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Protein:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Liquid and Sauce Components:
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 2 tbsp butter
Seasoning and Herbs:
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the crockpot by lightly greasing the interior with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Layer the chicken breasts along the bottom of the slow cooker, creating an even, flat surface for consistent cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, white wine, and butter until smooth and well-integrated.
- Sprinkle ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, dried basil, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt over the chicken, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
- Pour the creamy liquid mixture directly over the seasoned chicken, making sure all pieces are thoroughly coated.
- Cover the crockpot and set to low heat, allowing the chicken to simmer and develop rich, tender flavors for 6-7 hours.
- During the last 30 minutes of cooking, gently sprinkle parmesan cheese across the top, creating a delicate, melted cheese layer.
- Once cooking is complete, carefully remove chicken breasts and verify internal temperature reaches 165°F for food safety.
- If desired, use a fork to shred the chicken or slice into elegant portions, drizzling remaining sauce from the crockpot over the meat.
- Serve hot, accompanied by rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables to complement the creamy, herb-infused chicken.
Notes
