Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 (8 oz) blocks of cream cheese
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth (optional, for thinning)
  • Hamburger buns or cooked pasta (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker.
  2. Top with cream cheese and sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over everything.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 4 hours, until the chicken is tender.
  4. Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks.
  5. Stir to combine with the melted cream cheese and add shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
  6. Continue cooking on low for another 15 minutes, until cheese is melted.
  7. Top with green onions and serve warm on buns, over pasta, or as desired.

Notes

You can lighten it up by using reduced-fat cream cheese and turkey bacon. Add a splash of chicken broth if the mixture gets too thick.
