Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces Brick-style cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons Low sodium ranch seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Low sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Cooked turkey bacon, chopped
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, low sodium ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chicken breasts evenly.
Pour the low sodium chicken broth into the slow cooker around the chicken breasts, being careful not to wash the cream cheese mixture off.
Cover and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and can be easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker.
Mix in the cooked turkey bacon and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until the cheese has melted and everything is well combined.
Serve the Crack Chicken hot, optionally garnished with chopped green onions.
