- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

- Select Your Cooking Time: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, depending on your schedule.
- Shred and Mix: Once the chicken is tender and cooked through, shred it right in the slow cooker with two forks and mix well, allowing the cream cheese and dressing to coat the chicken beautifully.

- Serve with Style: Serve warm, garnished with the chopped green onions for that vibrant finishing touch.
