Here’s a creamy, ultra-easy crock pot recipe that turns simple ingredients into a rich, comforting dinner your family will love.
🧀 Cream Cheese Crock Pot Chicken
🛒 Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (raw)
- 2 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese (cubed)
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (optional but recommended)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra cheesiness)
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (optional but amazing)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot.
- Season with ranch mix, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika.
- Pour in chicken broth around the sides (not directly washing off seasoning).
- Top with cream cheese cubes evenly over the chicken.
- Cover and cook:
- Low: 6–7 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
- Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the crock pot.
- Stir everything together until creamy and smooth.
- Add cheddar and bacon (if using), stir, cover for 10 more minutes until melted.
🍽️ Serve It Over:
- Rice
- Egg noodles
- Mashed potatoes
- Pasta
- Stuffed into sandwich rolls
- Or even low-carb over cauliflower rice
💡 Make It Even Better
- Add a drained can of Rotel for a little kick.
- Stir in fresh spinach at the end for color and nutrition.
- Use pepper jack instead of cheddar for spice.
