In a slow cooker, place chicken, cream cheese, and ranch seasoning. Add 3-4 tbsp. water. 2. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4 hours, until chicken shreds easily. 3. Once the chicken is shredded, stir with a large fork or spoon to combine the other ingredients. Note: The cream cheese may appear to be curdling, but once it's mixed with other ingredients, it will be fine. 4. Add crumbled bacon if desired. 5. Serve hot with your rolls of choice.
