Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Can substitute with chicken thighs for extra tenderness.
For the Creamy Sauce
  • 8 oz cream cheese Always soften before use to prevent lumps.
  • 10.5 oz unsalted cream of chicken soup Can be substituted with a gluten-free version if needed.
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth Homemade broth can replace store-bought for freshness.
  • 1 oz ranch dressing seasoning Consider a homemade ranch spice blend for freshness.
For Topping
  • 3/4 cup cooked bacon Can be omitted for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Hold for the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Equipment

  • 6-quart slow cooker

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a 6-quart slow cooker, evenly spread out on the bottom.
  2. Sprinkle 3/4 cup of cooked bacon evenly over the chicken breasts.
  3. In a saucepan, combine 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 10.5 oz of cream of chicken soup, 1/2 cup of low-sodium chicken broth, and 1 oz of ranch dressing seasoning. Heat over medium heat until smooth, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the creamy sauce mixture over the chicken and bacon, ensuring all ingredients are well-coated.
  5. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours, until the chicken shreds easily with a fork.
  6. Shred the chicken in the slow cooker using two forks and stir to coat with the creamy sauce. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or tortillas.

Notes

For best results, soften cream cheese before mixing and cook on LOW heat to avoid dry chicken. You can omit bacon for a lighter option.
