Crockpot Crack Chicken is a creamy, flavorful slow cooker recipe featuring tender shredded chicken combined with cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and crispy bacon. This easy, hands-off meal is perfect for busy days and serves as a delicious topping for sandwiches, wraps, or served over rice.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Cream Cheese Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

Bacon

  • 6 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by placing the chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot to ensure even cooking.
  2. Add Cream Cheese and Ranch Seasoning: Place the softened cream cheese on top of the chicken, then sprinkle the dry ranch seasoning over the cream cheese and chicken evenly.
  3. Cook in Crockpot: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  4. Shred Chicken: Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot, mixing it thoroughly with the cream cheese and ranch seasoning for a creamy consistency.
  5. Add Bacon: Stir in the crumbled cooked bacon, mixing it evenly throughout the creamy shredded chicken.
  6. Serve: Serve hot as a dip, or as a filling for sandwiches, wraps, or over rice for a hearty meal.

Notes

  • For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for even cooking and shredding.
  • Cook bacon separately until crispy before adding to maintain its texture.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier option but adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Optionally, add shredded cheddar cheese after shredding for extra flavor.
