Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the boneless skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot. Add the cream cheese, minced garlic, ranch seasoning, and unsalted butter. Pour in chicken broth to create moisture, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Cover the crockpot with its lid, setting it on high for 3–4 hours or low for 6–7 hours.
  3. Once cooked, confirm the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F. Carefully remove and shred the chicken, then return it to the crockpot.
  4. Stir in the crispy bacon and shredded cheese, mixing well until the cheese melts.
  5. Allow the dish to sit for an additional 10–15 minutes on low to fully incorporate all elements.
  6. Serve over pasta, in a sandwich, or as a dip with chips.
