Crockpot Ranch Bacon "Crack" Chicken Sandwiches

I wanted to make a sandwich with the slow cooker, because I had some hamburger buns that needed used and I had seen a few recipes that I wanted to try out. I decided to try the recipe with cream cheese, ranch, and bacon. I mean, what is not to like about that? It was a good choice because they were delicious!

Some of the recipes for this said you could use bacon flavored cream cheese in it. I didn’t have any, but I am sure it would be good. I am sure any of the savory cream cheeses available would be good, but I would only use ONE block that is savory, and the other just a regular block of cream cheese – no need to overwhelm the dish. I also used turkey bacon in the sandwiches, because that is the kind I like… It is easy enough to cook up a bunch of bacon and just keep it in the fridge until ready to use. Then it will just get heated at the end with the chicken.

I also added cheese on the top – since I had seen others do this for the recipe. I think you can skip this step. I don’t think the extra cheese is needed. It is delicious, but if you want to save a few calories, skip adding the cheese on top

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese (I used low fat)
  • 2 (1 oz) packets dry Ranch seasoning
  • 8 oz bacon, cooked crisply and crumbled
  • Cheese – optional
  • Buns or some type of bread
Instructions:
In a slow cooker combine place chicken, cream cheese, and Ranch seasoning. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until chicken shreds easily. Once chicken shreds stir with a large fork or spoon, so the chicken shreds and all the ingredients combine. Add in crumbled bacon and stir to incorporate. If you want cheese on top, simply place the chicken on your bread, sprinkle with shredded or slices of cheese and place under the broiler for about a minute or so until melted. Eat and enjoy!
