This creamy crockpot crack chicken is an easy, flavorful dish made by slow cooking chicken breasts with cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and crispy bacon. It results in tender, shredded chicken that’s rich and savory, perfect as a main dish or sandwich filling.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Dairy

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Seasoning

  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

Meat

  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crockpot: Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Add chicken and cream cheese: Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot, then add the softened cream cheese on top of the chicken in dollops.
  3. Season: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning evenly over the chicken and cream cheese.
  4. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. Shred chicken: Remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks, then return the shredded chicken to the crockpot, stirring to combine with the creamy sauce.
  6. Add bacon: Stir in the cooked and crumbled bacon until evenly distributed.
  7. Serve: Serve immediately, on its own, over rice, or in sandwiches and wraps as desired.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese for creaminess.
  • If you prefer less sodium, use a reduced-sodium ranch seasoning mix.
  • You can prepare the bacon ahead of time in the oven to save time.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or over salad greens for a lighter option.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
