1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts and cooked bacon in the slow cooker.
Make the Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, ranch dressing mix, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Notes

Protein Variations: You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or tenderloins instead of chicken breasts.
Add Veggies: Try adding spinach, broccoli, or other vegetables for extra nutrition.
Adjust Seasoning: If you're sensitive to ranch seasoning, start with half the packet and adjust to taste.
Storage & Freezing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. For freezing, let the chicken cool completely, then transfer it to a freezer-safe bag. It will keep for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
