Crock Pot crack chicken sandwiches are simply addictive! This easy chicken sandwich filling features shredded slow cooker chicken with a rich seasoning blend, cheddar cheese, and bacon.

Did you know that cheese is addictive?

That’s right.

Science has found that eating cheese lights up the same reward centers in the brain and releases all sorts of brain chemicals that make you feel good and crave it.

Basically cheese is crack.

And it makes me feel much better about posting a recipe with the word ‘crack’ in the title.

Basically, in the foodie world the term ‘crack’ has become synonymous with any combination of cheddar cheese, bacon, and ranch seasoning combined into a chicken-centric dish.

And that’s exactly what this Crock Pot crack chicken is.

It will definitely have you craving it for sure!

Why is it called crack chicken?

Crack chicken gets its name from the insanely delicious combination of ingredients that will have you craving this all the time.

It may not be the nicest name, but trust me when I say you will find yourself longing for this savory, cheesy combination all the time!

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

Chicken– Boneless skinless chicken breasts
Cream cheese– 2 full blocks of it
Ranch seasoning– 2 packets of it
Bacon– Cooked crisply and crumbled
Cheddar cheese– Shredded. You can measure this with your heart and use as much or as little as you like.

How to Make

Not only is Crock Pot crack chicken so easy to make, it is also addictingly delicious!

Just add the chicken, cream cheese, and Ranch seasoning to the bowl of your crockpot or slow cooker.

Put the lid on your slow cooker and cook it on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours.

Once the chicken is cooked, shred it by pulling it apart with two forks.

If you’ve removed the chicken from the slow cooker to shred it, return it to the crockpot and use a large spoon or a sturdy spatula to stir until the mixture is evenly combined.

Then stir in the cheese and bacon until the cheese is melted and everything’s mixed well.

Serve the crack chicken warm on hamburger buns or sandwich bread.

Enjoy!

Storing Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container or the covered bowl of your slow cooker in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Reheat in the slow cooker or in the microwave until warmed through.

Tips and Tricks

I recommend using chicken breasts, as instructed, but chicken thighs will also work. Use a pair of kitchen sheers to trim all the excess fat off before adding them to the bowl of the crockpot.
Don’t have ranch seasoning mix on hand? Omit it from the initial steps. When you’re stirring everything together with the shredded chicken add 1/2-3/4 cup ranch dressing. Stir until it’s evenly incorporated.
While this recipe is intended as a sandwich spread, we’ve also served it with thick crackers as a dip. We’ve also incorporated it into grilled cheese sandwiches and quesadillas.
