Creamy Crockpot Crack Chicken
A year or so ago, I discovered a wonderful party dip called crack dip. It’s got cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, cheddar cheese, green onions, and bacon all in one bowl, and it’s so crazy good you can dip pretty much anything in it and it will taste great. Seriously, I would eat a table leg with this stuff on it.


So when I heard that you can get that same flavor in a chicken dish, and make a whole meal out of it, you can bet my ears pricked up. And when I found out that you can make it in the Crockpot, naturally I was completely sold.
This Creamy Crockpot Crack Chicken has all the delicious flavors of crack dip, plus tender slow-cooked chicken. And it’s amazingly easy to make: Just cook the chicken with the ranch seasoning and cream cheese, then shred it, stir it, and add the other ingredients.
Serve it up on buns, tortillas, or what have you, and you’ve got a hot meal bursting with crack-dip flavor. It’s much better than standing next to the table eating an entire bowlful of dip…uh, not that I’ve done that, of course.

RECIPE TIPS
Can you use bacon bits from a jar instead of the cooked, crumbled bacon?
If they are real bacon bits, and not fake soy things, then maybe you could get away with it. But I think it’s worth the trouble of cooking and crumbling some bacon for the flavor it provides. It’s not that much work, and the rest of the dish is so easy, you can easily make the time.
What’s a good side dish to serve with this creamy chicken?
The protein and starch are covered, so all you need is a green vegetable. A simple green salad would be just fine, or something like steamed broccoli or green beans with just a touch of butter, salt, and pepper. There’s so much flavor in the chicken, the veggie doesn’t need to be anything fancy.
Is this recipe keto friendly?
It is! All you have to do is leave out the bun and put it in a lettuce wrap, or treat it like a dip and dunk veggie strips into it.

Should we drain the pot before mixing everything together? Just curious bc there’s alot od liquid in mine. I’m assuming we just leave it tho. I used chicken thighs. Smells good! Can’t wait to try.
No draining needed 🙂
Has anyone used leftover rotisserie chicken?
What if I need to serve at a potluck the nest day, how should I heat this up the following day in the crock pot?
I would heat it up fully in the oven or microwave and then you could keep it warm in the slow cooker.
This was really bland. I followed the instructions to a T. I make buffalo chicken dip very similar so I opted to turn it into buffalo chicken dip by adding a little bottled ranch dressing and Frank’s red hot wing saucen so it wouldn’t go to waste. Served it as buffalo chicken dip instead of “crack chicken sandwiches”.
The recipe sounded good. But it fell flat on flavor. Thanks for the recipe. I always love experimenting with new recipes, I see lots of folks happy with the recipe so kudos to you for sharing. It’s just not for my family’s taste.
Sorry the recipe wasn’t your cup of tea Mary. A bottle of Franks?! Sounds like you like it spicy! lol
Do you leave the juices in the crockpot or drain? I made a double batch and would like direction before I mess it up lol
You do not drain
