Slow Cooker Crack Chicken

Slow Cooker Crack Chicken

Hi ya'll. I ope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. Here we are breaking the ice dams and salting the build up of snow, so we don't have water pouring in to the house. Fun times digging out from 43 inches of snow in February, the coldest month on record ever here in New York. Brr....

Anyway, the other day I made this slow cooker crack chicken and I was disappointed. The recipe is slightly flawed. It has way too much cream cheese in it. I like cream cheese, I don't love it, and I certainly don't want my entire meal to taste like only cream cheese. Well this is what the recipe did. The whole thing tasted like I was only eating cream cheese. Yuck.

Original recipe:

as found on cookiesandcups.com

2lbs boneless chicken breast

2 packets of dry ranch dressing mix

2 packages of cream cheese

8 oz. bacon

Take the first 3 ingredients and put them in the crock pot. 4 hours on high, 8 hours on low. Shred the chicken.

Before the time is up, cook bacon until it's crispy and break it up into little pieces. Add to the crock pot and stir.

To eat, spoon onto bun and serve.

My tweaked recipe:

2 lbs of chicken breast

1 packet of dry ranch dressing mix

1 package of Greek cream cheese

8 oz bacon

Take the first 3 ingredients and put them in the crock pot. 4 hours on high, 8 hours on low. Shred the chicken.

Before the time is up, cook bacon until it's crispy and break it up into little pieces. Add to the crock pot and stir.

To eat, spoon onto bun, add shredded Colby jack cheese to the top  and serve.

This slight tweak in the recipe makes it a lot better and in my opinion, edible.

Either way though, I am not a huge fan. I always try to find different recipes to make and something that doesn't take hours to throw together. I wasn't happy with the outcome of this dish.

If you try this recipe, let me know what you think.

If you aren't someone who wants to bath in cream cheese, and only just likes it, try my recipe, if you could lather yourself in cream cheese and it still wouldn't be enough cream cheese, try the original. Either way, good luck and happy eating.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Have a wonderful day!
