Recipe Directions
Step 1: Prep the Crockpot
- Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the chicken.
Step 2: Add the Ingredients
- Layer the cooked and crumbled bacon on top of the chicken. Pour in the chicken broth and add the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 3: Cook Slow and Low
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
Step 4: Shred the Chicken
- Once the chicken is cooked through, use two forks to shred it directly in the crockpot. Stir the shredded chicken and creamy sauce until well combined.
Step 5: Cook the Pasta
- About 30 minutes before serving, cook the spaghetti noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles and add them to the crockpot, stirring to coat them evenly with the creamy chicken mixture.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
- Ladle the Chicken Bacon Ranch Spaghetti into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this delicious dish!
