Place 1.5 to 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast in the bottom of the crock pot.

Sprinkle the dried ranch dressing mix over the chicken.

Place 8 ounces of cream cheese on top of the chicken.

Sprinkle 4 ounces of diced green chilies over the cream cheese.

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, depending on the thickness of the chicken.

After cooking, remove the lid and use a meat chopper to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot until it is fully shredded and tender.

Replace the lid and cook for an additional 15 minutes to meld the flavors together.

After 15 minutes, remove the lid and add 1 to 1.5 cups of cooked bacon crumbles.

Add 1 to 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and 3 diced green onions to the mixture.

Cover the crock pot again and cook for another 15 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Stir everything together and serve on buns or tortillas.
