Equipment

  • 6-quart slow cooker

Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 2 pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Can substitute with chicken thighs for richer flavor.

For the Sauce

  • 8 slices Cooked Chopped Bacon Use precooked bacon bits for convenience.
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Opt for full-fat for the best flavor.
  • 10.5 ounces Cream of Chicken Soup Can substitute with homemade or cream of mushroom soup.
  • ½ cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth Vegetable broth is a great alternative.
  • 1 ounce Ranch Dressing Mix Homemade ranch seasoning is a fantastic substitute.
  • 1.5 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese Feel free to swap with Monterey Jack or pepper jack.

Instructions

How to Make Slow Cooker Crack Chicken

  • Start by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your 6-quart slow cooker. Top them with the cooked chopped bacon.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, gently melt the cream cheese together with the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, ranch dressing mix, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Carefully pour the creamy sauce over the chicken and bacon in the slow cooker. Make sure everything is well-coated.
  • Cover the slow cooker and set it to LOW for 4–6 hours, until chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).
  • Once finished, you can either serve the chicken whole or shred it directly in the sauce. Pair it with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

Garnish with fresh parsley for added freshness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days; freeze portions for longer storage.
