Slow Cooker Crack Chicken
Description
In this recipe, boneless chicken breasts are slowly cooked along with cream cheese, dry ranch seasoning packets, garlic powder, and shredded cheddar cheese in a slow cooker until the chicken is tender and shreds easily. The slow cooking allows the cream cheese and cheddar to melt into a creamy sauce that coats the shredded chicken.
After cooking, crispy cooked bacon is folded in to introduce a crispy, smoky texture contrast. The chicken mixture is typically served on burger buns and topped with extra bacon and chopped green onions, enhancing the flavor and adding freshness.
This dish is suited for a filling lunch or dinner with minimal active preparation time. The slow cooker method keeps the chicken moist and flavorful, while the ranch seasoning and cheese combination creates a rich, tangy profile balanced by the saltiness of the bacon.
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breast boneless
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 2 packets ranch seasoning 1 oz each, dry
- 8 oz Bacon cooked crispy and crumbled
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Garnish:
- Serve on burger buns
- Bacon extra, cooked
- green onion chopped
Instructions
- In a slow cooker combine chicken, cream cheese, Ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and cheddar cheese.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours, until chicken is tender and it shreds easily.
- Once the chicken is tender enough, stir it with a large fork or spoon, so the chicken shreds and gets combined with all the ingredients.
- Add in crumbled bacon and stir to incorporate.
- Serve on buns with extra bacon on top and chopped green onions.
