Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts

For the Seasoning

  • 1 packet ranch seasoning

For the Creaminess

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

For the Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For the Crunch

  • 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the four boneless, skinless chicken breasts in your crockpot in a single layer.
  2. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning evenly over the chicken breasts, making sure every piece is well coated to maximize flavor.
  3. Add Cream Cheese: Dollop the softened cream cheese over the seasoned chicken, spreading slightly if needed to create a creamy layer that will melt during cooking.
  4. Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and infused with the seasonings.
  5. Shred the Chicken: At the end of cooking, carefully shred the chicken using two forks directly in the crockpot to mix with the melted cream cheese.
  6. Mix in Cheese and Bacon: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled cooked bacon until everything is well combined and creamy.
  7. Serve: Serve warm as a hearty main dish, optionally paired with rice, bread, or vegetables.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs if you prefer darker meat; just adjust cooking time if needed.
  • For a lower-fat option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and cheese or omit bacon.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to help it incorporate smoothly with the chicken.
  • This dish can also be served as a sandwich filling or stuffed inside baked potatoes.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely.
