Ingredients

▢ 2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
▢ 8 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
▢ 1 oz dry ranch dressing mix
▢ 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth or milk
▢ 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
▢ 6 slices turkey bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
▢ 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (optional)
▢ kosher salt, to taste
▢ black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Lightly mist the slow cooker insert with cooking spray.
Place chicken breasts in a single layer in the bottom of the crockpot.
In a medium bowl, mash softened cream cheese with ranch dressing mix until smooth. If thick, add 1 tablespoon of the broth or milk to loosen.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chicken. Pour the remaining broth or milk around the edges.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily.
Shred the chicken directly in the crockpot with two forks (or pulse on LOW with a hand mixer for a few seconds).
Stir in shredded cheddar and crumbled turkey bacon. Cover for 5–10 minutes until the cheese melts into the sauce.
Season to taste with salt and pepper, then fold in green onions if using.
Serve hot on toasted buns, over rice or baked potatoes, in lettuce wraps, or as a warm dip with chips.
