Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 2 packets Dry ranch seasoning
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth
  • 16 ounces Cream cheese room temperature
  • 6 slices Bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Equipment

  • Slow cooker (5 to 6-quart)
  • Small bowl
  • Forks (or hand mixer)

Method
 

Prepare the Chicken and Seasoning
  1. Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts into the bottom of a 5 to 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the two packets of dry ranch seasoning and 1/2 cup of chicken broth to create a slurry.
  3. Pour the ranch mixture evenly over the chicken and place the room-temperature cream cheese on top.
Slow Cook to Perfection
  1. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, until the chicken shreds easily with a fork.
Shred, Top, and Melt
  1. Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks or a hand mixer.
  2. Top the shredded chicken with the crumbled bacon and cheddar cheese, then cover the cooker for a few minutes until the cheese is melted.
Serve and Garnish
  1. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped green onions.
