🥘Why You'll Love Keto Crack Chicken in the Crock Pot
- The Crock Pot does all the work. Just set it and forget it!
- Creamy texture, cheesy flavor and bacon - 'nuff said!
- This chicken recipe can be served in a variety of ways - in a tortilla, lettuce cup or over some rice if not on a keto plan.
🥣Ingredient Notes
- Chicken broth - You can use homemade or canned. Low-sodium chicken broth is fine if you are watching your salt intake.
- Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning packet - This is the kind you would use to make salad dressing. You can also make your own ranch seasoning with this recipe from Mad Creations.
- Boneless skinless chicken breasts - Defrosted. I get 100% grass-fed beef; free-range organic chicken from Butcher Box. They have amazing prices. You can also use skinless chicken thighs.
- Cream Cheese - Be sure to use full-fat cream cheese and it makes the chicken creamier. Cut the cream cheese into chunks.
- Bacon - Make sure the bacon is cooked and crumbled before adding it to the keto crack chicken in the crock pot.
- Shredded cheddar cheese - If you are on a low-carb diet, it is better to grate your own cheese.
📋How to Make Keto Crack Chicken Crockpot
STEP 1: Add chicken broth to the slow cooker and stir in a Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix. Then add defrosted chicken breasts to the crock pot.
STEP 2: Cover and cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
STEP 3: After the cook time has ended, shred chicken with two forks or use these shredding claws. These are so much easier on the hands and make the shredding job a lot quicker.
When you shred the chicken, it will absorb any leftover liquid.
STEP 4: Add in the chunks of Philadelphia Cream Cheese, bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir all of the ingredients together.
STEP 5: Cover the crock pot again and leave in for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cream cheese has melted.
If you are not that concerned about carbs, and are just looking for a yummy meal idea, try serving this with a side of rice or pasta.

Yes, chicken thighs work also.

Could this be made with chicken thighs?

Hey guys I made this before and it was really good! Honestly it tastes like a chicken bake from Costco without the bread.
I have a big container of hidden valley ranch seasoning and I think part of the challenge is figuring out the right amount of seasoning to add to the dish. Anyone who made it and it was awesome have any thoughts about the ounces they used for one serving of this recipe? I’ve seen packets vary from ,5 ounces to 1.5 ounces per packet. Thank you!
Vicky
Thanks for taking the time to leave some kind words!
Tim Hickey
We made that and boy it sure didn’t last we just ate like we have not had chicken before. Very easy recipe. A Must try!
Debbie Schrode
How much is 1 serving? One cup?
Patti
thus is a huge hit!! a dear friend of mine can't have msg or maltodextrin, which are in some ranch seasonings and dressings. Newmans Own Ranch doesn't have those ingredients and really amped up the flavor!!
Carolyn
I love the taste and the recipe was so easy. Will make it again.
Anita Leeth-Kienzel
I made this on Saturday for dinner. It turned out so good and it's so easy to make! This will be added to our dinner rotation to have often. My husband likes things a lil spicy so I added about 8 shakes of Frank's Red Hot sauce. Didn't make it hot just gave it just a lil heat. Delicious!
Cher
I liked the sound of this recipe but we altered it a little bit according to our tastes. I sauteed a red pepper, a green pepper and a red onion in butter and add it to the chicken mixture. I also used pepper jack cheese in place of the cheddar to add some kick to it. It came out great! Ate it rolled in low carb wraps. Delish!
Vanessa
Serving size??
Janet
Good. Will make again
Jennifer Larimer
This recipe is really good. Make sure you are tasting the sauce it really needs a lot more salt, fresh ground pepper, pepper flakes and green chilies are optional. I added low carb elbow macaroni to the pot to make it more of a complete dish. I also think served over cauliflower rice would be delicious too!
Blake Ledgerwood
You've got to start putting serving sizes on here or we have no way to know. Is it 1/2 cup? 3/4 cup? Saying it makes 8 servings is too broad.
Theresa
To me this recipe tastes bland. Perhaps it needs more ranch seasoning.
