Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 8 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 1 oz. ranch seasoning (I used Hidden Valley)
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheese (I used Mexican)
  • 4 slices center cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • green onions, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Add the chicken broth, chicken, cream cheese and ranch seasoning to the Instant Pot.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot and lock it. Make sure the lever is set to seal. Press the manual button and set the time for 15 minutes.
  • Once the timer goes off let it naturally release for 5 minutes, then finish with a quick release.
  • Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and shred it, then add it back to the pot.
  • Add the 1/2 cup of cheese and bacon. Stir until blended and the cheese is melted. Top with green onions.

For a slow cooker:

  • Add the chicken broth, chicken, cream cheese and ranch seasoning to the slow cooker.
  • Cook on low 4 hours.
  • Remove the chicken and shred it, then add it back to the slow cooker.
  • Add the 1/2 cup of cheese and bacon. Stir until blended and the cheese is melted. Top with green onions.
