Description
Crockpot Crack Chicken is the ultimate easy-to-make, crowd-pleasing dish that will have your taste buds begging for more. This creamy, cheesy slow-cooker chicken recipe is aptly named “Crack Chicken” for its addictive flavor profile and irresistible texture.
Ingredients
- 2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 ounce ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled bacon
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions (optional)
Instructions
1. Place the chicken in the slow cooker, pour the broth over the top, and sprinkle the ranch seasoning evenly over the chicken. Dot the cream cheese cubes all over the surface.
2. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is very tender.
3. Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot.
4. Stir the shredded chicken until the cream cheese has melted into a creamy sauce.
5. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese and most of the crumbled bacon. Top with the remaining cheddar and bacon, then cover for 5-10 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
6. Sprinkle with the sliced green onions (if using) and serve the Crockpot Crack Chicken on buns, in wraps, over rice, or with crackers and veggies for dipping.
