Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • 1 8 oz block cream cheese

Add-ins

  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup cooked crumbled bacon (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 green onions, sliced

Serving

  • Buns, croissants, or tortillas for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts in the crockpot. Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix evenly over the chicken. Then place the entire block of cream cheese on top of the chicken.
  2. Cook Chicken: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and fully cooked.
  3. Shred Chicken: Remove the lid and shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks. Stir well to incorporate the melted cream cheese throughout the shredded chicken.
  4. Add Cheese and Bacon: Add the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions to the crockpot. Stir everything together until the cheese is melted and the mixture is well combined.
  5. Serve: Spoon the creamy crack chicken mixture onto buns, croissants, or tortillas and serve warm for a delicious sandwich or wrap.

Notes

  • You can use pre-cooked bacon or cook your own and crumble it before adding.
  • For a lower fat version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and cheddar cheese.
  • This recipe can also be made in an Instant Pot using the slow cook function or pressure cook with adjustments.
  • Optional toppings like extra green onions or a dash of hot sauce add extra flavor.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
