Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot.

In a bowl, mix the ranch dressing mix, softened cream cheese, chicken broth, minced garlic, and black pepper until well combined.

Pour the ranch mixture over the chicken in the crock pot, ensuring the chicken is well coated.

Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Shred the chicken with two forks and stir to combine with the sauce. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
