Toppings and Serving

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Cook Chicken: Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Shred and Mix: Use two forks to shred the chicken inside the slow cooker. Stir in the block of cream cheese until fully incorporated. Cover and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes to allow the cream cheese to melt into the mixture.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of black pepper or garlic powder to the ranch seasoning mix.
Leftover chicken mixture can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
To make it low-carb, serve it over lettuce wraps instead of hamburger buns.
Ensure the bacon is cooked crispy before adding to the slow cooker to maintain texture.
If you prefer, shredded rotisserie chicken can be used to reduce cooking time.
