Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 packet (28g) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/4 cup chicken bone broth
  • 1/2 lb thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh scallions, finely sliced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 12 small flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil

Instructions:

  1. Layer the slow cooker. Place 2 lbs chicken thighs in the bottom. Top with 8 oz cubed cream cheese, 28g ranch seasoning, and 1 tsp smoked paprika.
  2. Add the liquid. Pour 1/4 cup chicken bone broth around the edges of the chicken. Note: Pouring around the edges keeps the seasoning on the meat rather than washing it off.
  3. Braise the meat. Cover and cook on High for 240 minutes. Wait until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.
  4. Shred the chicken. Transfer the chicken to a large bowl. Use two forks to pull the meat into small, bite-sized shreds.
  5. Incorporate the cream. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker. Stir vigorously into the melted cheese and juices until the mixture looks velvety and integrated.
  6. Add the mix ins. Fold in 1/4 lb of the cooked bacon and 1/4 cup of the sliced scallions.
  7. Prepare for baking. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spray a rimmed baking sheet with 2 tbsp neutral oil.
  8. Fill the tortillas. Lay out 12 flour tortillas. Portion the chicken mixture into the center of each.
  9. Add the topping. Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups Colby Jack cheese and 1/4 lb bacon over the chicken.
  10. Crisp the tacos. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes until the tortilla edges are golden brown and crackling. Sprinkle with remaining scallions before serving.
