Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix or homemade ranch seasoning
- 1 cup cooked bacon crumbled (about 6-8 slices)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup green onions chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or stock optional, for extra moisture
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. You do not need to pre-cook the chicken; it will cook perfectly in the slow cooker with the other ingredients.
- Add Cream Cheese and Seasoning: Put the softened cream cheese on top of the chicken. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken and cream cheese.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken will become tender and the cream cheese will melt into a smooth sauce.
- Shred the Chicken: Once the cooking time is up, remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir the shredded chicken to combine with the creamy sauce.
- Add Bacon and Cheese: Stir in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Let everything melt and blend together for about 10 minutes.
- Serve: Once the cheese has melted and the bacon is evenly distributed, your creamy crack chicken is ready to serve. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy!
