# Ingredients:

01 - 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

04 - 1 (1 oz) packet dry ranch seasoning mix
05 - 1 tsp garlic powder
06 - 1/2 tsp onion powder
07 - 1/4 tsp black pepper
08 - 1/2 tsp kosher salt
09 - 8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
10 - 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

→ Fresh Finishing Touch

11 - 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or green onions, for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Place 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (The Hearty Foundation) into your crockpot. Pour in 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth (Velvety Dream Makers). This forms the flavorful base for your Easy Creamy Crockpot Crack Chicken.
02 - Sprinkle the chicken with 1 (1 oz) packet dry ranch seasoning mix, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt (all Signature "Crack" Blend). Ensure even coverage for maximum flavor.
03 - Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 4 hours (240 minutes) or on high for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is easily shredded. This slow cooking process is key to tender Easy Creamy Crockpot Crack Chicken.
04 - Uncover the crockpot. Add 8 oz cream cheese, softened (Velvety Dream Makers), directly to the pot. Stir gently until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated, creating a rich, creamy sauce.
05 - Using two forks, shred the cooked chicken breasts directly in the crockpot. Stir the shredded chicken thoroughly into the creamy sauce, ensuring every piece is coated.
06 - Stir in 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (Signature "Crack" Blend) until melted and gooey. Fold in half of the 8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled (Signature "Crack" Blend) for the ultimate Easy Creamy Crockpot Crack Chicken.
07 - Serve your Easy Creamy Crockpot Crack Chicken warm. Garnish with the remaining 8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled (Signature "Crack" Blend) and 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or green onions (Fresh Finishing Touch).

# Notes:

01 - For extra flavor, consider searing the chicken breasts for a few minutes per side before adding them to the crockpot. This creates a delicious browned crust.
02 - Store any leftover Easy Creamy Crockpot Crack Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
03 - Feel free to substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the breasts for an even juicier result. You can also experiment with different cheeses like Colby Jack or Monterey Jack.
04 - This versatile dish is fantastic served on hamburger buns for sandwiches, over rice, pasta, or even as a dip with tortilla chips.
