Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 8 oz blocks cream cheese
- 2 packets dry Ranch seasoning
- 8 oz bacon cooked crisply and crumbled
- 1/2 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese + more for sandwiches if desired
Instructions
- Add the chicken, cream cheese, and Ranch seasoning to the bowl of your crockpot or slow cooker.2 lbs boneless, 2 8 oz blocks cream cheese, 2 packets dry Ranch seasoning
- Cook it on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Then shred the cooked chicken, the easy way or by removing it to a plate and pulling it apart with two forks.
- Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and use a large spoon or a sturdy spatula to stir until the mixture is evenly combined.
- Add in the cheese and bacon, stirring until the cheese is melted and everything's mixed well.8 oz bacon, 1/2 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese + more for sandwiches
- Serve the 'crack' chicken warm on hamburger buns or sandwich bread, toasted or plain, topped with a sprinkle of shredded cheese (optional).
Notes
- 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.
