Salt and pepper, to taste

2. Add cream cheese cubes and sprinkle ranch seasoning mix evenly over the top.
3. (Optional) Pour in chicken broth for a thinner, creamier consistency.
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.
5. Shred the chicken using two forks or a hand mixer. Stir well to combine.
