Ingredients

2 lbs chicken breasts
8 slices bacon (sliced, cooked and drained)
½ cup low sodium chicken broth
1 (16 oz) package of cream cheese (cubed)
1 (1 oz) packet of ranch seasoning
½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1¼ cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
½ cup green onions (diced)

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, add bacon and cook until browned. Slice and set aside until the end.
Add chicken breasts to the bottom of the slow cooker. Then, add chicken broth, ranch seasoning, cream cheese, and Worcestershire sauce.
Cover and cook on low for 6 - 8 hours or high for 4 - 5 hours.
Shred the chicken with two forks in the slow cooker. Then, add cheese, green onions, and bacon. Stir until combined and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Serve over buns, rice, or in tortillas.

Notes

Cooking the Chicken. Use the time as a guideline. The time it takes to cook the chicken will vary based on your slow cooker and the thickness of your chicken breasts. The best way to determine the chicken is fully cooked, is to use a thermometer. Chicken is done when it registers an internal temperature of 165° F.

Double the Recipe. This recipe easily doubles to feed a large crowd or if you're doing a bit of meal-prepping for the week. Make sure to use a large enough slow cooker and be prepared to cook a little longer.

Shredding the Chicken. You can shred the chicken in a few different ways. I like to use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the Crock Pot. You can also remove the chicken and shred it on a plate or cutting board or use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.

Melting the Cream Cheese. Cube the cream cheese before adding it to the chicken so it will melt faster.
