Place the chicken breasts or thighs at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.
Add the cream of chicken soup, cubed cream cheese, and chicken broth on top of the seasoned chicken.
Cover and cook on Low for 6-7 hours or on High for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and shreds easily.
Shred the chicken directly in the pot using two forks.
Stir well to combine the shredded chicken with the creamy sauce until smooth.
Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles.
Garnish with bacon bits, shredded cheddar cheese, or parsley if desired.
