Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 6 sandwich buns, hoagie rolls, or brioche buns
- Optional: fresh chopped parsley, sliced pickles, or ranch dressing for topping
Optional Add-Ins:
- A dash of hot sauce for heat
- Sliced green onions for extra zip
- Colby Jack or provolone cheese for different melt and flavor
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Chicken
Place chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the top.
Step 2: Add Cream Cheese
Cut the block of cream cheese into cubes and place them evenly over the chicken.
Step 3: Cook Low and Slow
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and easily shreddable.
Step 4: Shred and Mix
Once done, shred the chicken using two forks. Stir everything together until the cream cheese is melted and fully combined into a creamy ranch mixture.
Step 5: Add Bacon and Cheese
Stir in the cooked, crumbled bacon and shredded cheese. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes with the lid on (turned off) to melt the cheese.
Step 6: Assemble and Serve
Spoon the chicken mixture onto toasted buns or rolls. Top with extras like sliced pickles or more ranch if desired. Serve hot!
Notes
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- Cook on LOW whenever possible for more even, juicier results
