🥘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.

I made my own dry ranch dressing seasoning- less sodium, sugar… whatever. Parsley, seasoning salt, garlic & onion powder, thyme, and I added dill. So delish I served it over broccolini not cauliflower or broccoli rice actually broccoli florets! Yummy! Thx for sharing it was delish!!

i hate when they say a serving but do not
leave how much is a serving. the recipie becomes useless
at
this point to me.
Christie
About how much per serving? 1 cup?
Christine
Based on measurements it looks like serving size may be 2 cups of chicken. However I only divided 3lbs of chicken by 8 servings which seems to be the only thing listed for serving info.
Gordon
Completely with you on this. If it was called Opoid Chicken people would lose their freaking minds.
Amy
If you want a chicken mush that only tastes like salt, go for it. Will never waste the money making this again.
Deb
I love your quick and easy low carb recipes. I have noticed that I dont see how many servings per recipes?

Ive had family members with drug addiction and not once do I associate “crack” with a good recipe and get offended. Seriously?? That’s right along there with hair “braid appropriation”, not trying to be rude but if this sensitivity is what the future generations are gonna be accustomed to then we are all in trouble.
Betty
Over-the-top response!!! You’re a smart one. You deserve a prize.
Carlie W
You know what? I’ve been reading all comments/questions regarding this recipe and YOUR RESPONSE deserves the KUDOS! 🥳
This is the most thoroughly researched answer for everyone’s questions regarding what is in this recipe and what it’ll break down to once it’s put into their mouth! Now EVERYONE needs to just cook the recipe and enjoy or move along! Thank you, Kevin.
And we don’t even know each other 🤣

And I didn't cook bacon. I bought a small bag of bacon pieces, NOT BITS! It was the perfect amount! Not too salty and you could still taste it!
Kelly McCollum
I absolutely LOVE this recipe!!! My friend and I thought it would cook slow by multicooker standards. Boy were we wrong! It was cooked in no time flat! We let it cook completely down and then followed the directions. It was a little too thick to stir. Still good though! Made it again last night, but doubled it and left some of the broth mix. Then added other ingredients. Made stirring a WHOLE lot more simple! It was creamy and amazingly good! My daughter made a wrap out of it while my son, husband and I ate it plain on a plate. So good!!! I've been eating it today with whole wheat Ritz. My family and I love it!! Thank you for this AMAZING recipe!!!
Kim
Made this tonight, but added 4 oz. of mild Hatch chilies and served over riced cauliflower. Wonderful.
Kathryn Standley
How do you serve this? Is it a sandwich? Or did you put it over rice or noodles?
Dana
This was extremely salty... I'd make it again but with half the amount of bacon, add bell peppers and maybe mushrooms.
Kristi Padgett
Made this for dinner tonight and it was absolutely delicious! Served it over steamed broccoli!!! I see this being made regularly!!!
Mel

Too salty for me and too mushy. Other than that it was good and easy to make.
Christina Casalini
Did anyone ever figure out how much per serving?
