Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (1 ounce) packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, sear both sides of the chicken until they are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the seared chicken to a slow cooker. Top the chicken with softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and the water.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be fork-tender when done.
- Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Stir gently to combine the chicken with the creamy ranch mixture.
- Add the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar, and chopped green onions to the slow cooker. Mix until everything is melted and warm.
- Serve warm as-is, or spoon over cauliflower rice, stuff into lettuce wraps, or pair it with your favorite keto sides.
