Description

Crock Pot Crack Chicken is a creamy, cheesy, and flavorful slow cooker chicken dish made with tender shredded chicken breasts, ranch seasoning, cream cheese, bacon, cheddar cheese, and green onions. This easy, hands-off recipe delivers a rich and savory meal perfect for serving on buns or in bowls, ideal for busy days or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 ounces ranch dressing mix (powdered)
  • 16 ounces cream cheese
  • 8 ounces bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (or colby jack)
  • ½ cup green onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Add Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the crock pot in an even layer.
  2. Add Ingredients: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken, then add the cream cheese and sprinkle the ranch dressing mix evenly on top.
  3. Cook: Cover and set the crock pot to HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 6 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  4. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts and shred them using two forks. Alternatively, you can shred the chicken directly inside the crock pot if preferred.
  5. Mix Sauce and Chicken: Stir the sauce inside the crock pot to combine, then add the shredded chicken back in and mix well.
  6. Add Toppings: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions until everything is well combined and melted.
  7. Serve: Serve the Crack Chicken warm, either on buns as a sandwich or in bowls for a hearty meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute colby jack cheese for cheddar if preferred.
  • For spicier flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper or some diced jalapeños.
  • Shredding chicken inside the crock pot saves cleanup time and helps fully absorb the sauce.
  • Serve with sandwich buns, over rice, or with crackers for different serving options.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
