Slow Cooker Crack Chicken

Slow Cooker Crack Chicken is one of my absolute favorite recipes! Using just 5 ingredients, it is so easy to make and can be eaten in SO many ways!

I have been making this recipe for years, and always have someone ask me for the recipe. This creamy, cheesy, shredded chicken is perfect for sandwiches, sliders, wraps, pinwheels, over rice/potatoes, or as a dip with your favorite chips!

This recipe is great if you are on a low-carb or keto food journey as there are no carbs in the chicken recipe itself. IF you are watching carb intake, you can cut up the chicken and serve with green beans, add to a bell pepper (crack chicken stuffed peppers), or add to a low carb tortilla for a delicious wrap.

Ingredients:

Chicken Breast
Cream Cheese
Ranch Seasoning
Bacon Crumbles
Shredded Cheddar Cheese

How to Make Slow Cooker Crack Chicken

This is an easy, “set it and forget it” recipe! To a large slow cooker, you will add the chicken breast, ranch seasoning and cream cheese (cut into cubes). Cook on low for 4- hours, until easily shredded with a fork. Once cooked, shred the chicken and return to slow cookers. Add the bacon crumbles and shredded cheddar cheese to the crock pot, stir, and cook on low for an additional 15-30 minutes until everything is creamy and combined.

This recipe is my GO TO for get-togethers with family and friends or potlucks at work. It is so simple to throw together and stays really well in the crock pot on the warm setting (just be sure to stir occasionally)!

How to Store Leftovers

This recipe can easily be cut in half or doubled depending on the number of people you are feeding. If you end up with leftovers (which is doubtful), you can add to a freezer safe container or bag and freeze for 1-2 months. Once you are ready for round two, you will pull it out of the freezer and let it thaw in the fridge. Once thawed, my favorite way to reheat is in a small pot on the stove (low heat, stirring regularly). You could also add to a small slow cooker and reheat on low until warm.
