Easy 4 ingredient meal coming to your dinner table. It only takes 5 minutes to get it ready and then you leave your crock-pot to do all the hard work! Seriously how easy can it get. Plus this recipe can be used in so many different ways. :)
All you need is 1 pound of chicken breast, a bottle of your favorite wing sauce, a packet of dry ranch seasoning, and one package of cream cheese.
1. Place your chicken in the crock-pot, frozen or thawed. Then pour half of the bottle of sauce in. Flip your chicken to make sure all sides are covered by the sauce. Then sprinkle the dry ranch packet on top.
2. Since my chicken was already thawed I only need to cook it on high for 3 hours. If you are using frozen chicken, let it cook for an hour or so more.
3. Half way through the cooking time place half of the cream cheese on top of the chicken. (4 ounces of cream cheese) Wait a bit for it to soften up before you mix it in.
4. Depending on the sauce you use, it is up to you if you want to use the other half of cream cheese. Since the sauce I used was quite hot, I needed to cut down on the heat so I included the whole package of cream cheese.
5. When the chicken is completely cooked then shred the chicken right in the crock-pot. The easiest way to shred chicken is by using two forks. Use one fork to hold the chicken in place and then use the bottom of the other fork to gently start pulling it away.
6. This can be used in a variety of ways. You can throw it in a quesadilla, put over rice, make it into a sandwich, or use it on top of a homemade pizza!
I used the meat as a sandwich since I had a lovely baguette that needed to be used and a spare avocado. I also drizzled a little bit of ranch on top for a little more extra juice.Prep time: 5 minutes
