Slow Cooker Crack Chicken

[justbec]

Ingredients



2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast (3-4 breasts)
1 1-ounce packet ranch seasoning mix (2 tablespoons)
8 ounces block cream cheese
½ pound bacon cooked crisp and crumbled
1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Fresh chopped chives for garnish
Sandwich buns
Optional sandwich toppings: extra bacon, chives, Ranch dressing drizzle
Instructions


Add chicken to the slow cooker and sprinkle with Ranch seasoning mix. Place the block of cream cheese on top of the chicken. Cover and cook on high for 2.5-3 hours or low for about 4-5 hours.
Remove the lid and shred the chicken right in the pot using two forks. Stir in the chopped bacon and shredded cheddar.
Scoop onto sandwich buns, top with extra bacon and chives if you have them, or a drizzle of ranch dressing. Also delicious in tortilla wraps, over rice, or in baked potatoes.

Notes
This recipe makes a generous 6 sandwiches. You could likely get 8 sandwiches if you use the filling a little more sparingly.
Cooking chicken breasts in the slow cooker can be tricky - be sure to watch the temperature and stop cooking when they reach 165 degrees F.
