Layer the base: Place the chicken breast in the bottom of your slow cooker and top with sliced onion. 1.5 lb Chicken Breasts ½ Onion
Add the creamy layer: Cover the chicken with cream soup and sprinkle the ranch seasoning across the top. Cube the cream cheese and add it on top so it melts into a creamy sauce. 2 Cans Cream of Chicken Soup 2 tablespoon Ranch Seasoning 8 oz Cream Cheese

Notes

Thin the sauce if needed - You can add a splash of milk or chicken broth to loosen it up to your desired consistency.
Shred Chicken - Once cooked, shred the chicken right in the slow cooker so it soaks up all the flavor.
Crisp the bacon - Cook the bacon until crispy before adding it in. That will add the best texture.
Cube the cream cheese - Cutting the cream in cubes will help it melt faster and more evenly.
