Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz cream cheese block-style, cubed
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices beef bacon or turkey bacon cooked and crumbled
  • green onions for topping
Optional Spices
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika optional, to taste

Equipment

  • Crock Pot

Method
 

  1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the Crockpot.
  2. Add cubed cream cheese on top of the chicken.
  3. Sprinkle ranch seasoning over the top. Add black pepper and optional spices if desired.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender and cooked through.
  5. Shred the chicken directly in the Crockpot using two forks.
  6. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled beef or turkey bacon. Mix until cheese melts and everything is creamy.
  7. Serve warm, topped with chopped green onions. Great over rice, pasta, potatoes, or on buns.

Notes

For a lighter version, use light cream cheese and turkey bacon. Add a splash of chicken broth or milk if the sauce is too thick. Freeze leftovers in portions for up to 3 months.
