Method
- Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
- In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and ranch seasoning mix. Mix well until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Top with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and easily shreds.
- Shred the chicken using two forks directly in the slow cooker. Stir to combine the shredded chicken with the creamy sauce.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and pickled jalapenos (if using).
- Serve hot, either on its own, over cauliflower rice, or in lettuce wraps.
Notes
For best results, use fresh chicken breasts and pat them dry before cooking. Full-fat cream cheese and mayonnaise are essential for optimal flavor and texture. Be sure to check the ranch seasoning mix for hidden sugars and starches, or make your own from scratch. Serve immediately and store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
