Description

Comfort Crock Pot Crack Chicken is the ultimate creamy, cheesy, and savory slow-cooked dinner. Made with tender chicken, ranch seasoning, cream cheese, cheddar, and crispy bacon, it’s the kind of dish that brings everyone to the table with a smile. Perfect served over pasta, rice, or stuffed in buns—it’s family-friendly, freezer-friendly, and packed with comforting flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 blocks (16 ounces total) cream cheese

1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

2 tablespoons chopped parsley or green onions (optional)

Cooked pasta, rice, or sandwich buns for serving


Instructions

1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a Crock Pot.

2. Top with cubed cream cheese and sprinkle the ranch seasoning evenly over the top.

3. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 4 hours.

4. Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the Crock Pot using two forks.

5. Add shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon; stir until well combined.

6. Serve warm over pasta, rice, or inside buns. Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired.


Notes

Make sure to shred the chicken only once fully cooked and tender for the best texture.

For extra creaminess, stir in a splash of milk or chicken broth after shredding.

If using frozen chicken, increase cook time and ensure internal temp reaches 165°F.
