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 hot, sear both sides of the chicken until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the seared chicken to a slow cooker. Top with softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and water.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until fork-tender.
- Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks and stir gently to combine with the creamy ranch mixture.
- Add crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar, and chopped green onions. Mix until everything is melted and warm.
- Serve warm as-is or with cauliflower rice, in lettuce wraps, or pair with keto sides.
