Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry Ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 (8 ounce) block of cream cheese
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 pieces bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • ½ cup green onions, sliced

Instructions

  • Add the chicken breasts to the insert of the crock pot. Season with the dry Ranch seasoning mix.
  • Cut the cream cheese into 6-8 cubes and add them on top of the chicken.
  • Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 2 ½ to 3 hours.
  • Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks. Stir the cream cheese into the sauce in the slow cooker until smooth. Return the chicken to the slow cooker and stir well to get it coated. (If it seems at all dry, see the tip in the notes below.)
  • Add ½ cup of the shredded cheese and mix in with the chicken. Add the remaining cup of shredded cheese on top of the chicken, then cover the crock pot and let it melt for 5-10 minutes.
  • Add the bacon and green onions, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Tip: If your chicken mixture seems a little dry after it's cooked and shredded and mixed back in, add a few tablespoons of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt to get it nice and creamy. Or you could just add some extra water or a little broth to the slow cooker to mix with the cream cheese. (This will depend on your crock pot and how it cooks.)
Serving ideas: See the written post above for ideas of ways to serve this chicken.
Leftovers: Leftovers, once cooled, can be refrigerated for up to 5 days in a covered container. Or freeze for up to 4-5 months.
