Ingredients
  

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 packet ranch dressing mix

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup cooked bacon, chopped (about 8 slices)

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4-6 sandwich rolls or slider buns

Fresh arugula or lettuce, for topping (optional)

Sliced tomatoes (optional)

Sliced pickles (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix evenly over the chicken. Pour the chicken broth around the chicken to keep it moist during cooking.

    Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

      Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir well to combine with the ranch seasoning and broth.

        Add Cream Cheese: While the chicken is still hot, add the softened cream cheese and chopped bacon. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.

          Mix in Cheddar: Add in the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until everything is evenly combined and heated through.

            Prepare the Sandwiches: Toast the sandwich rolls or slider buns lightly if desired. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto each bun.

              Add Fresh Toppings: Top with fresh arugula, sliced tomatoes, and pickles if using. Place the top of the bun over the filling.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy the flavorful combination of savory chicken, crispy bacon, and creamy ranch!
