Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix (about 1 oz)
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup cooked crumbled bacon
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • Buns or preferred bread for serving (croissants, tortillas, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts into the crockpot. Evenly sprinkle the ranch dressing mix over the chicken, then place the block of cream cheese directly on top of the chicken.
  2. Slow Cook the Chicken: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and infused with the ranch and cream cheese flavors.
  3. Shred the Chicken: Remove the crockpot lid carefully, then using two forks, shred the cooked chicken directly in the crockpot. Mix the cream cheese thoroughly into the shredded chicken until creamy and well combined.
  4. Add Cheddar, Bacon, and Green Onions: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled cooked bacon, and sliced green onions to the creamy shredded chicken mixture until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  5. Serve: Spoon the creamy crack chicken mixture onto buns, croissants, tortillas, or your bread of choice. Serve immediately for a warm and delicious meal.

Notes

  • You can prepare the bacon in advance and crumble it to save time.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños.
  • This dish can be served as a dip with crackers or veggies if you prefer.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
  • Garnish with extra green onions or even a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added freshness.
