    6 Oz. Bacon
  • When the chicken has finished cooking, you can either shred it in the pot (with two large forks or a shredding tool), or pull it onto a cutting board, chop it, and then mix it back in with the cream cheese in the slow cooker.
    The choice is yours, depending on what texture you like.
  • Top the chicken mixture with the bacon and cheese and cook it on high for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
    1 C Grated Cheddar Cheese
  • Top with green onions and enjoy! This dish is great served hot in a hamburger bun with extra cheddar, or on top of crackers. You can also serve it with rice or mashed potatoes. Or try it chilled the next day in a wrap, sandwich or anywhere else you would put a savory chicken salad.
