Instructions
- Let's cook up some delicious, healthy chicken using your favorite method for tender, flavorful results!
- For Slow Cooker Lovers: Simply place the chicken breasts, chicken broth, and all the dried herbs and spices (parsley, dill, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper) into your slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the chicken is wonderfully tender and easy to shred.
- For Instant Pot Wizards: Add the chicken breasts, chicken broth, and all the dried herbs and spices to your Instant Pot.
- Close the lid, set the valve to sealing, and pressure cook on high for 8 minutes.
- Allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully quick release any remaining pressure before opening the lid.
- For Stove Top Chefs: Combine the chicken breasts, chicken broth, and all the dried herbs and spices in a large saucepan over high heat.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover, and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Finishing Steps (for all methods): Carefully remove the cooked chicken to a large bowl and use two forks to easily shred it into delicious pieces.
- Add the cream cheese chunks and shredded cheddar cheese to the warm shredded chicken.
- Gently ladle a bit of the cooking broth into the chicken and cheese mixture. Stir well until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is wonderfully creamy and perfectly combined. This helps create a smooth, rich texture.
- Finally, stir in your crispy, crumbled bacon.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh green onions if you like! Enjoy this healthier, flavorful twist on a classic!
