- 6 to 8 sandwich buns
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in a slow cooker or large pot.
- Add the cream cheese block on top of the chicken.
- Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.
- Cook on low for 6 hours in the slow cooker, or simmer on the stovetop for 45–60 minutes until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

Notes
