Description

Keto Crack Chicken is a creamy, cheesy slow cooker chicken recipe that is packed with rich flavors from ranch seasoning, cream cheese, bacon, and cheddar cheese. This comforting and easy-to-make dish is perfect for those following a keto or low-carb lifestyle, with tender shredded chicken infused with savory ingredients ideal for a hearty meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Seasoning and Sauce

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup water

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped

Additional

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker, laying them evenly for consistent cooking.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Seasoning: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the ranch seasoning mix until well blended. Spread this creamy mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  3. Add Water: Pour the water around the sides of the chicken carefully, avoiding washing off the cream cheese mixture to maintain the sauce consistency.
  4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  5. Shred and Combine: Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Add the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring to combine all ingredients evenly.
  6. Melt the Cheese: Cover the slow cooker again and allow it to sit for about 15 minutes, letting the cheese melt thoroughly into the mixture.
  7. Season and Serve: Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with chopped green onions before serving to add a fresh bite and color.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs if you prefer a juicier texture.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes with the ranch seasoning.
  • Serve with cauliflower rice or steamed vegetables to keep the meal keto-friendly.
  • Leftovers store well and can be reheated in the microwave or stovetop.
