Ingredients You’ll Need

Core Ingredients

Here’s what I always grab for this creamy Crockpot crack chicken:

• 2 lbs chicken breasts – tender and juicy after slow cooking

• 1 packet ranch dressing mix – adds bold, herby flavor

• 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese – gives it that creamy body
• 1/2–3/4 cup bacon – crispy, savory goodness
• 1 cup shredded cheddar – melts into cheesy perfection
• 4 green onions – for a little freshness and crunch
• Lettuce, buns, or tortillas – your choice on how to serve it

Optional Add-Ins

I sometimes add jalapeños for heat or swap cheddar with pepper jack. Creamy Crockpot crack chicken also works with frozen spinach stirred in at the end.

How to Make Creamy Crockpot Crack Chicken

• Add chicken to Crockpot.

• Sprinkle ranch mix on top.
• Place cream cheese block over it.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours (or HIGH for 4 hours).
• Shred the chicken in the pot.
• Stir in cream cheese until smooth.
• Mix in cheddar, bacon, and green onions.
• Serve warm and creamy.

This creamy Crockpot crack chicken is best over steamed veggies, in wraps, or just straight from the bowl.

Tips for Perfect Results

• Use full-fat cream cheese for the best creamy texture.

• Double the batch for freezer meals or parties.
