Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
12 oz spaghetti or pasta of choice (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Lightly grease your crock pot with oil or spray. Place chicken breasts at the bottom.
2. Add the cream cheese blocks on top of the chicken.
3. Sprinkle ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper evenly over everything.
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
5. Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks.
6. Stir to combine the shredded chicken with the creamy mixture.
7. Add shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon, stir until melted and combined.
8. Serve hot over cooked pasta, rice, or in a sandwich. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Use freshly cooked and crumbled bacon for the best flavor.
Want to lighten it up? Use low-fat cream cheese and reduced-fat cheddar.
Leftovers reheat beautifully — just add a splash of milk or broth to restore the creamy texture.
