For the Chicken

Instructions

How to Make Creamy Crockpot Crack Chicken

  • Lightly grease your slow cooker with cooking spray to ensure an easy cleanup later on.
  • Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the crockpot.
  • In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the dry ranch dressing mix until smooth. If needed, add a tablespoon of milk to achieve your desired consistency.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, then pour in the milk or chicken broth.
  • Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Once done, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks.
  • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon until well combined.
  • Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, and serve hot over buns, rice, or even as a dip with tortilla chips.

Notes

Enjoy every bite! Optional: Sprinkle with additional green onions for a pop of color and flavor.
