Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Green onions, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Spread them evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
- Place the cream cheese on top of the seasoned chicken. This will melt and combine beautifully with the flavors.
- Cook on low for 360 minutes (6-8 hours) or high for 240 minutes (3-4 hours). The chicken is done when it’s cooked through and shreds easily with a fork.
- Shred the chicken in the slow cooker using two forks. Stir it together with the cream cheese and ranch mixture until well combined.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through.
- Serve the Crack Chicken warm, garnished with fresh green onions for added color and flavor.
Notes
The ranch seasoning mix adds a delicious herby flavor; consider adding diced jalapeños for heat.
