How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwiches

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a slow cooker.

Sprinkle 1 packet ranch seasoning over the top and pour in chicken broth.

Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily.

Step 2: Mix in Creamy Ingredients

Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks.

Return it to the slow cooker and add cream cheese (softened) and cooked bacon, crumbled.

Stir everything together and cook on LOW for another 30 minutes until creamy and fully blended.

Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches

Lightly toast 6–8 sandwich rolls or hoagie buns.

Spoon the chicken mixture into the rolls and top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Garnish with chopped parsley for freshness and color.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Serve warm with chips, salad, or veggies. They’re great for leftovers, too!
