Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lb chicken breasts Perfect for slow cooking and shredding
  • 1 packet dry ranch seasoning mix Adds bold flavor
  • 8 oz cream cheese Creates a thick, creamy base
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled Adds smoky crunch
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese For extra richness
  • 4 brioche buns brioche buns Soft and slightly sweet for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the chicken breasts flat at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning evenly over the chicken. Place the block of cream cheese directly on top.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low until the chicken becomes very tender and easy to shred.
  2. Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the melted cream cheese to form a thick, creamy sauce.
  3. Stir in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese until everything is fully combined.
Assembly
  1. Scoop generous portions of the mixture onto brioche buns and serve warm.

Notes

Toasting the inside of the brioche buns helps them hold up against the creamy filling and prevents them from becoming soggy.
