This super easy slow cooker crack chicken recipe is a crowd-pleaser, taking just 5 ingredients and 5 minutes of prep time. It’s incredibly versatile and can be served in so many ways—on rice, in a sandwich, or on baked potatoes.
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 lbs)
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 8 oz cream cheese, cut into cubes (or divided into 4 portions)
- 1 oz packet of dry ranch seasoning (or 3 tbsp homemade ranch seasoning)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and sprinkle the ranch seasoning on top.
Add the cubed cream cheese over the chicken, then cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Shred the chicken with two forks and mix all the ingredients together until combined.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese on top, cover, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts completely.
Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.
