Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup

Instructions

1. Prepare the chicken by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, softened cream cheese, chicken broth, and ranch seasoning mix. Stir until well blended.
3. Pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring that the chicken is well coated.
4. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots over the top of the soup mixture. Season with a little salt and pepper.
5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked.
6. Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix well.
7. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated.
8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions, bacon bits, and additional cheese if desired.
