Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 8 oz block reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel, 1/3 less fat)
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix or homemade for lower sodium
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices cooked turkey bacon crumbled
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Optional: 1/4–1/2 cup chicken broth helps thin sauce if needed

  2. Add to crockpot: Place chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with ranch seasoning and top with cream cheese (cut into chunks).

  4. Shred & mix: Shred the chicken directly in the pot. Stir in cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions. Add a little broth if sauce is too thick.
  5. Serve: Great over cauliflower rice, in a wrap, or with roasted veggies.
  6. Instant Pot Method:
  7. Add chicken & seasoning: Place chicken, ranch mix, cream cheese, and 1/4 cup chicken broth into Instant Pot.
