Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts 
  • Salt and pepper, to taste 
  • 1 cup Primal Kitchen Ranch Dressing
  • 2 oz. cream cheese 
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese 
  • 1/3 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup bacon bits

Directions

  1. Place chicken breasts into your slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Drizzle Primal Kitchen Ranch over the chicken. Add cream cheese.
  3. Cook on high for 4 hours. (Use a meat probe to ensure the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165°F.) Once the chicken is fully cooked, shred it using two forks. Mix it well into the sauce.

  4. Add cheese and green onions. Stir gently. Top with bacon bits, then serve.

This dump-and-go recipe is the perfect weeknight dinner. With just three ingredients (plus toppings) and almost zero prep work, you can have a delicious meal on the table by the time your day is done.

The secret to our super-moist, juicy chicken is our no-seed-oil Ranch Dressing made with real ingredients like avocado oil and cage-free eggs. Slow-cooked with chicken breasts and cream cheese, Ranch infuses the typically bland bird with major flavor. (Hint: Primal Kitchen Ranch Dressing is made without dairy ingredients, so you can substitute plant-based cheese for a no-dairy version.)

Serve over cauliflower rice, spread on a wrap, or just eat it straight out of the slow cooker (we did!).
