Description

This Slow Cooker Crack Chicken is irresistibly creamy, cheesy, and packed with ranch flavor. Loaded with tender shredded chicken, crispy bacon, and melty cheese — it’s a crowd-pleasing comfort food perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or over rice and veggies.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 oz ranch seasoning mix (1 packet)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Buns, tortillas, or rice (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Layer ingredients: Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle with ranch seasoning and top with cubed cream cheese.
  2. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  3. Shred chicken: Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks.
  4. Add cheese & bacon: Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and bacon. Let melt for 5–10 minutes on warm.
  5. Serve: Top with chopped green onions and serve on buns, in wraps, or over rice, potatoes, or steamed veggies.

Notes

To lighten it up, use reduced-fat cream cheese and skip the bacon. This dish is great for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen.
