This Keto Crockpot Chicken comes together in about 10 minutes and cooks low and slow for a quick and easy weeknight dinner that your family will love!
Ingredients For Keto Crockpot Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts: The star of our dish! Feel free to swap with thighs if that’s your preference.
- 1 cup heavy cream: This adds a lovely, creamy texture to the chicken that makes it comforting and rich.
- 1 cup chicken broth: A must to keep everything moist, and it enhances the chicken’s flavor.
- 1 packet ranch seasoning: My secret weapon! It elevates the taste and gives that ranch kick we all crave.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese: Because who doesn’t love cheese? It makes everything better, trust me!
- Salt and pepper to taste: Just a couple pinches will do to enhance all those amazing flavors.
- Chopped parsley for garnish: Totally optional, but it adds a pop of color and freshness!
Let’s Get Cooking!
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, chicken broth, and ranch seasoning until it’s well mixed. Pour this mixture over the chicken.
- Season with salt and pepper, stirring gently to coat the chicken.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and wonderfully tender.
- Once cooked, shred the chicken right in the crockpot using two forks and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley for that extra flair!
