Slow Cooker Crack Chicken
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ¾ cup cooked and chopped bacon
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
- 1 (10.5 oz) can unsalted cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 (1 oz) packet ranch dressing mix
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts and cooked bacon in the slow cooker.
- Make the Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, ranch dressing mix, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Cook: Pour the sauce over the chicken and bacon in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours until the chicken is tender.
- Serve: Serve the chicken whole or shred it and mix it with the sauce. Enjoy over pasta, rice, or potatoes.
Notes
- Protein Variations: You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or tenderloins instead of chicken breasts.
- Add Veggies: Try adding spinach, broccoli, or other vegetables for extra nutrition.
- Adjust Seasoning: If you're sensitive to ranch seasoning, start with half the packet and adjust to taste.
- Storage & Freezing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. For freezing, let the chicken cool completely, then transfer it to a freezer-safe bag. It will keep for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
