Notes

1 packet of ranch seasoning mix (keto-friendly version) can be used in place of the seasoning mix of parsley, chives, dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
If you prefer chicken breasts, you can use them instead of thigh meat.
You can substitute the cream cheese with mascarpone or ricotta cheese. 
Turn this into a skillet recipe by using shredded rotisserie chicken and mix it in with the rest of the ingredients in a skillet. When all the ingredients are melted together, dinner is ready!
If all you have is a block of cheddar cheese, just roughly chop it up so that it melts in the slow cooker. No need to shred it!
Try using pork loin in place of chicken. It will shred up just as easily and have the same light flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week
