Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup cooked bacon chopped
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp parsley
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dill
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 6 oz cream cheese
  • ½-1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients up to the cream cheese to the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
  • Open, shred the chicken and add the cream cheese. Cook for another 20 minutes or so to soften.
  • Mix well, then serve on buns with grated cheddar cheese and green onions.

Notes

  • Cook time may vary, depending on your model of slow cooker. One of mine is done in just over 2 hours on low, while the other takes 4-6.
  • Thickness of the chicken will also affect cook time
  • Use real bacon bits if you don't have time to cook up some fresh bacon
  • Soften cream cheese in the microwave to cut down the last part of the cook time
