  • 1/2 cup green onions 25g, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth 60ml, for moisture

Equipment

Method
 

Slow Cooker Assembly
  1. Place chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour in chicken broth. Sprinkle ranch seasoning specks over the meat, then place blocks of cream cheese directly on top.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and easily pulled with a fork.
Shredding and Melting
  1. Remove chicken to a board and shred into strands. Whisk the melted cream cheese and juices in the crockpot until a velvety white sauce forms. Fold chicken back in.
  2. Smooth the surface and top with a heavy coating of cheddar. Cover for 15 minutes until bubbly. Top with crispy bacon crumbles and sliced scallions just before serving.
