# Ingredients You'll Need:

01 - 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

09 - 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions

01 - Place the chicken breasts in the base of the slow cooker and season both sides with salt, pepper, and ranch seasoning.

02 - Top the chicken with cream cheese and pour chicken broth around the edges to maintain moisture during cooking.

04 - Add spinach near the end of cooking for a nutritional boost and vibrant color.
