Ingredients
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
16 oz cream cheese softened
1 oz ranch seasoning mix
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 slices cooked bacon crumbled
1/2 cup chicken broth (optional)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Cooked pasta rice or buns for serving
Instructions
1. Place chicken breasts at the bottom of your crock pot. Sprinkle with ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add the cream cheese in chunks on top.
2. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours until chicken is tender.
3. Shred the chicken with two forks directly in the crock pot.
4. Add cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Stir well until everything is melted and combined. Let sit uncovered for 10-15 minutes to thicken.
5. Serve hot over pasta, rice, or buns. Garnish with parsley and extra bacon if desired.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother melting.
For a thicker sauce, skip the chicken broth.
Freshly cooked bacon adds more flavor than packaged bits.
