Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 6 slices cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
- 2–3 green onions, sliced thinly
Instructions
- Place 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the slow cooker, spreading them evenly.
- In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces softened cream cheese, 1 packet ranch seasoning mix, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon onion powder. Blend until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream if using.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and spread gently with a spatula.
- Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.
- Remove the chicken breasts and shred using two forks or a hand mixer. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to coat with sauce.
- Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 6 slices cooked, crumbled bacon until cheese melts.
- Sprinkle 2-3 sliced green onions on top and stir gently.
- Serve hot, ideally over cauliflower rice or steamed vegetables.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth blending. Cook bacon crisp and drain well to avoid sogginess. Keep the slow cooker lid closed during cooking to maintain heat. If sauce is too thin, thicken with xanthan gum or cook uncovered on high for 15-20 minutes, watching carefully to avoid drying out chicken.
