Ingredients
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 packet ranch seasoning mix, 1 ounce
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
Instructions
1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot in an even layer.
2. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper over the chicken.
3. Pour in the chicken broth, then place the softened cream cheese on top.
4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
5. Shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks.
6. Stir the chicken into the melted cream cheese mixture until well coated.
7. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and most of the crumbled bacon, then stir until creamy and combined.
8. Let it sit for 5 minutes so the cheese melts fully into the sauce.
9. Top with the remaining bacon and sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
Do not add all of the bacon at the beginning of cooking, or it can lose its crisp texture and disappear into the sauce instead of giving the finished dish that signature smoky bite.
