Crock Pot Crack Chicken Recipe

First things first…What is ‘CRACK CHICKEN’? 

Crack Chicken is the name of the combination of chicken, cream cheese, ranch seasoning, and bacon. These ingredients combined are so good ‘It’s addictive, you can’t stop eating it!’ (For those of you that want to slam me for naming it ‘crack’, when I titled this recipe, I didn’t even think about the drug. I only thought about the combination of ingredients that is known far and wide as ‘Crack Chicken’. I did not intentionally mean to offend anyone!)

There are variations of the recipe but the basic ingredients are the four noted above. Some people add cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onions, mayonnaise, etc.

I for one think chicken, cream cheese, ranch, and bacon has a really good flavor. However, to kick it up and make it even tastier I like to add a cheddar/Colby mix and mayonnaise. Now we’re talking!

Crock Pot Crack Chicken Recipe

There are a few reasons why Crock Pot Crack Chicken Recipe is so good

1. Primarily, this is a ‘dump and go’ slow cooker recipe. I say primarily because you do not want to cook the bacon in a slow cooker. Hence, you will either need to cook the bacon, crumble it, then add it to the Crock-Pot at the end of the cooking process. Or, you can use store-bought bacon bites. While real bacon, cooked and crumbled is much better and cost a lot less per ounce, store-bought bacon bits save a lot of time.
2. It’s Keto friendly.
3. Get my favorite slow cooker here.
4. As well, Crock Pot Crack Chicken Recipe is perfect by itself, it’s also great on a sandwich, in a tortilla, over nachos, as a dip, in quiche, on pizza, over pasta, rice, or potatoes, or on a lettuce wrap for another low carb option!

HOW DO YOU MAKE CRACK CHICKEN IN THE SLOW COOKER?

1. Use skinless, boneless chicken breasts so you don’t have a lot of extra fat in the recipe.
2. I use two packets of seasoning. Otherwise, to me, it was a bit bland.
3. Add the mayonnaise and Colby cheddar cheese at the end and stir until melted.

Can I cook this recipe on the stove?

Simply brown the chicken in a skillet. Next, add the remaining ingredients and cook them all in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes. When the chicken is cooked through, shred it then follow the instructions in the original recipe.

You can eat this by itself, on a bun, or in a tortilla wrap. I like to serve it with a Wedge Salad, Orange Salad, or Deconstructed Green Bean Bundles.

Can I freeze Crock Pot Crack Chicken Recipe?

This chicken recipe freezes well. Freeze it in an airtight container and let it thaw fully before reheating, you can definitely make this cooked chicken days ahead of time and store it in your freezer.

UPDATE 11-12-19: I read your comments and a lot of you thought the recipe as written is too salty. Therefore, I created a Homemade Ranch Seasoning Mix Recipe so that you can control the salt in this recipe. You can substitute this homemade ranch seasoning for the packs listed below in the recipe. (3 tablespoons of this mix = 1 packet of store-bought seasoning mix) CLICK HERE FOR HOMEMADE RANCH SEASONING RECIPE
