Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 oz cream cheese, cubed
1 cup Pepper Jack cheese, shredded
1 packet (1 oz) dry ranch seasoning mix
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Sprinkle the dry ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.
Place the cubed cream cheese on top of the chicken.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shredded.
Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
Stir in the shredded Pepper Jack cheese until it melts completely into the sauce.
Stir in half of the crumbled bacon.
Serve the creamy chicken topped with the remaining bacon.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a richer flavor.
This recipe is excellent served over cauliflower rice or wrapped in large lettuce cups for a complete Keto dinner.
