Ingredients
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 packet dry ranch dressing mix
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup milk or chicken broth
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (or 6 oz real bacon bits)
¼ cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Lightly grease the crockpot with cooking spray.
Place chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom.
In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese with ranch seasoning until smooth (thin with a splash of milk if needed).
Spread cream cheese mixture over the chicken.
Pour milk or chicken broth on top.
Cover and cook on low 6–8 hours or high 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender and easily shredded.
Shred chicken directly in the crockpot with two forks.
Stir in shredded cheddar and crumbled bacon until melted and creamy.
Cover again for 5–10 minutes until bubbly.
Garnish with green onions and serve hot on buns, rice, lettuce wraps, or as a dip.
Notes
Use high-quality bacon for best flavor.
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for smooth mixing.
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
Leftovers store in fridge up to 3 days or freeze up to 2–3 months. Reheat after thawing.
