This creamy and savory crack chicken features tender chicken, rich cream cheese, and smoky bacon, making it the ultimate comfort food for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (approx. 1 oz)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened

- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the crock pot in a single layer if possible.
- Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.
- Place the cream cheese on top of the chicken (cut into chunks for faster melting).
- Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 4–5 hours, until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and is very tender.
- Remove the chicken to a cutting board or shred directly in the crock pot using two forks.
- Stir thoroughly to combine the shredded chicken with the melted cream cheese and ranch.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked bacon until the cheese is melted and the mixture is evenly combined.
- Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions.
Notes
For a lower sodium option, use reduced-sodium ranch mix and low-sodium bacon/cheese. This freezes well for easy future meals.
