Equipment

1 pressure cooker

Ingredients

1.5 lbs chicken boneless skinless breasts or thighs, medium size, cut in half lengthwise
1 block cream cheese softened / room temperature, cut into large chunks
1/2 large onion diced
1 package ranch dressing mix dry, 1 ounce
5 slices bacon diced, precooked
2 c cheddar cheese shredded
1/2 c chicken broth

Instructions

This can be made in a pressure cooker or on the stovetop on low/medium heat. Add medium chicken breasts or thighs that have been halved, cream cheese cut into smaller chunks, ranch dressing dry mix, diced onions and broth into pot.
Simmer on low heat with lid on until chicken is cooked through and so tender it shreds with 2 forks. Then remove from heat, shred chicken and stir so clumps of cream cheese become smooth with the rest of the ingredients.
For pressure cookers put on the lid and close steam valve. Set to high for 15 minutes followed by a quick release. Then shred chicken and stir so cream cheese becomes smooth and chicken is coated. Turn pot off.
In both cases stir in shredded cheese, it will melt quickly. Stir in precooked bacon at this time.
Keep in mind this thickens A LOT when it cools so you may not want to add anything. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes to allow thickening. Transfer to serving bowl with chips or baguette sliced pieces.
If you want it thicker set to saute low and you can whisk together 1 tsp of cornstarch with 2 tsp cold water until smooth and dump that in. Allow to bubble for 1 minute, then turn off or remove from heat. This will continue to thicken as it cools.
