Equipment
- Slow cooker
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Fork
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 packet (1 oz) ranch dressing mix
- ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon (about 6–8 slices)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional: chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Lightly grease your slow cooker or use a liner for easy cleanup.
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Place the cream cheese on top of the chicken. Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix over everything.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is fully cooked and shreds easily.

- Stir in the cooked bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cover again and cook for 30 more minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with green onions, if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
Try it spicy with cayenne or jalapeño. Swap cream cheese with Neufchâtel for a lighter version. Serve over potatoes, pasta, or in wraps. Leftovers store well and are even tastier the next day!
