Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 ounce Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix
16 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
8 sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
1½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded
3 to 4 green onions, chopped

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine salt, onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, and the ranch seasoning mix.
In the crockpot, add the 4 chicken breasts. Sprinkle seasoning mixture over the top of the chicken breasts. Top the seasoning mixture with cream cheese cubes.
Turn the crockpot temperature to low and cover. Let cook 6 to 7 hours, or until chicken shreds easily with a fork.
Once the chicken is done cooking, use two forks to shred the chicken while it is still in the crockpot. Stir the shredded chicken and cream cheese together.
Add 1 cup of cheddar cheese to the chicken mixture and stir to combine.
Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions. Cover until the cheese is melted.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Note: We'd recommend grating your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese tends to be coated with an anti-caking agent that prevents it from melting well.

Note: If you are on a time crunch, you can cook on high for 3 to 4 hours instead.

Note: This dish can be served over rice, on hoagie rolls, over a baked potato, or as a dip with crackers!
