Description

Slow Cooker Crack Chicken is a creamy, cheesy, and flavorful shredded chicken dish made with ranch seasoning, bacon, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and green onions. This easy slow cooker recipe delivers tender, juicy chicken perfect for sandwiches and is ideal for convenient meal preparation.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 dry ranch dressing seasoning mix (1 oz packet)
  • 6 strips bacon (cooked crisply and crumbled)

Cheese and Toppings

  • 8 oz cream cheese (block)
  • 1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1/4 cup green onions (sliced)

Serving

  • 6 hamburger buns

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: Place the boneless chicken breasts, cooked and crumbled bacon, and the dry ranch dressing seasoning mix into a slow cooker of at least 6-quart capacity.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  3. Shred Chicken and Add Cream Cheese: Use two forks to shred the cooked chicken inside the slow cooker. Stir in the block of cream cheese until well combined. Cover and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes to allow the cream cheese to melt fully and blend into the chicken.
  4. Add Cheddar Cheese and Green Onions: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions over the chicken mixture. Cover and cook on low for 10 minutes or until the cheese melts completely.
  5. Serve: Spoon the creamy shredded chicken onto hamburger buns immediately and enjoy your delicious Crack Chicken sandwiches.

  • Leftover Crack Chicken can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
  • To make it a lower-fat version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and cheddar cheese varieties.
