Ingredients

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 packet ranch seasoning mix

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

3 green onions, sliced

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

6 sandwich buns

Instructions

1. Place the chicken breasts in a slow cooker, then add the cream cheese and ranch seasoning on top.

2. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and very tender.

3. Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks, then stir until the cream cheese and seasoning coat the chicken evenly.

4. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, sliced green onions, and black pepper, then mix until everything is well combined and creamy.

5. Toast the sandwich buns lightly if desired for extra texture.

6. Spoon the warm crack chicken mixture onto the buns and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not add the cheddar cheese too early while the chicken is still cooking for hours, or the texture can turn oily instead of smooth and creamy.
