5-Ingredient Crack Chicken Sandwich

Instructions:

1. Place the chicken, cream cheese, and ranch seasoning into a slow cooker or Instant Pot.
   • Slow cooker: Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.
   • Instant Pot: Add ½ cup water and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes; quick-release the pressure.
2. Shred the chicken in the pot and stir until everything is creamy and well combined.
3. Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
4. Stir in the crispy, crumbled bacon.
5. Serve hot on toasted buns, over rice, or with crackers.

Variations

• Add sliced jalapeños for heat.
• Use pepper jack instead of cheddar for a spicier version.
• Stir in a handful of green onions or chives for freshness.
• Swap chicken breasts for thighs for extra tenderness.
• Mix in a spoonful of hot sauce for a buffalo-inspired twist.

Tips

• Toast the buns with butter and a sprinkle of garlic for incredible flavor.
• For extra creaminess, stir in a spoonful of sour cream or mayo.
• If the mixture becomes too thick, add a splash of broth or milk.
• Leftovers are perfect for wraps, quesadillas, or stuffed baked potatoes.
• Use freshly cooked bacon for maximum flavor and crunch.
