Begin by placing your boneless skinless chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of your crock pot. Lightly season them with freshly ground black pepper.

In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing seasoning mix, chicken broth, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.

Carefully pour the creamy sauce over the chicken breasts in the crock pot, ensuring that the chicken is evenly covered.

Cover the crock pot securely and set it to cook on the LOW setting for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours.

Once the cooking time is complete, carefully shred the chicken directly in the pot using two forks.

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese into the creamy chicken mixture until it melts completely.

Ladle the creamy chicken mixture over your preferred sides and garnish your dish with freshly chopped parsley or chives.
