Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts You can use chicken thighs for added juiciness.
For the Flavorful Sauce
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Make sure it's softened for easier mixing.
  • 10.5 oz Cream of Chicken Soup Try a homemade version for a healthier twist.
  • 0.5 cups Low-Sodium Chicken Broth Opt for vegetable broth for a lighter option.
  • 1 oz Dry Ranch Dressing Seasoning You can substitute with homemade ranch mix if desired.
For Topping
  • 1 cup Cooked Bacon Pieces Swap with turkey bacon for a lighter alternative.
  • 1.5 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese Consider low-fat cheddar or swap for pepper jack for an extra kick.

Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Start by placing the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker in a single layer.
  2. Sprinkle the cooked bacon pieces generously over the chicken breasts.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the softened cream cheese, cream of chicken soup, low-sodium chicken broth, and dry ranch dressing seasoning. Stir until well blended and warmed through.
  4. Once the sauce is ready, carefully pour it over the chicken and bacon in the slow cooker.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours.
  6. In the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken.
  7. Once cooked, serve the Crock Pot Crack Chicken over fluffy rice, baked potatoes, or in warm tortillas.
