Ingredients

1/2 cup chicken broth
2 lbs chicken breast boneless, skinless
2 tbsp ranch seasoning or 1 packet hidden valley ranch, 1/2 tsp reserved
1/4 cup buffalo sauce or more according to how spicy you want it
8 oz cream cheese
2 tablespoons buffalo sauce (or more to taste)

Instructions

Pour the chicken broth into the crock pot. Lay the chicken breast on top, then top with the ranch seasoning and ¼ cup buffalo sauce. Cover and cook on high for 2.5 hours or low for 3.5 hours. (Cook to internal temperature of 165˚F)
At the end of the cook time, remove the chicken and shred it. Drain the broth, reserving 1/2 cup of the broth.
Place the shredded chicken, the reserved ranch seasoning and broth, and cream cheese back into the crock pot and stir until everything is evenly combined.
Note- You can add more or less broth if needed, to get your desired level of creaminess.
Stir in 2 tablespoons buffalo sauce adding additional sauce until you reach your desired level of spice.

Notes

To Freeze:

Place chicken, ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, and broth in a zip top bag or air tight container.
Freeze.
When ready to cook, place contents in slow cooker and cook as directed adding an additional 30 min -1 hour to the cook time.

Leftovers can be stored in an air tight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or the freezer for up to 6 months, although I try to use it within a month for the best taste.
