This recipe for crack chicken gives instructions for the Instant Pot or the slow cooker. Instead of that infamous ranch packet, I use flavorful herbs and spices.
Have a busy night ahead of you? Make Slow Cooker Crack Chicken (THM:S, Low Carb, Ketogenic) in less than 5 minutes in the morning + 10 minutes at night!
It takes 4 ingredients and less than 5 minutes to put together.
It's super simple to make:
Put 4 chicken breasts in the bottom of a (linked) slow cooker. It's totally ok for them to be completely, totally frozen. Keep it easy.
Dump 2 packets of ranch dressing mix over the chicken breasts.
Then place 2 blocks of cream cheese on top of the chicken.
Set the slow cooker to low for 8 hours, then hustle out the door to work & school.
When it's almost time to serve the Crack Chicken, microwave some bacon, crumble it, an stir it in. Bonus points if you also microwave a broccoli steamer to serve the Slow Cooker Crack Chicken over.
You’ll Need:
- 4 Chicken Breasts, frozen (about 2 pounds)
- 2 Ranch Dressing Seasoning Packets

Instructions:
