Ingredients:

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 packet ranch seasoning mix (1 oz)
1 block cream cheese (8 oz), softened
1/2 cup chicken broth
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
6 sandwich buns

Optional Toppings:

Shredded lettuce
Sliced pickles
Sliced cheese (cheddar, provolone, or Swiss)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crock Pot

Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.

2. Add Creamy Goodness

Cut the cream cheese into small chunks and place them on top of the chicken. Pour in the chicken broth to keep everything moist and flavorful.

3. Cook Low & Slow

Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.

4. Shred & Mix

Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir everything together until the chicken is well-coated in the creamy ranch sauce.

5. Assemble the Sandwiches

Toast the sandwich buns for extra texture, then pile on the shredded ranch chicken. Top with crumbled bacon and any of your favorite toppings!

Helpful Tips:

Make It Spicy – Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce for extra heat.
Extra Creamy? – Stir in 1/4 cup sour cream for even more richness.
Low-Carb Option – Serve over lettuce wraps instead of sandwich buns.
