Rated 5 out of 5 by from Family FAVE! So easy!! Always a hit. Sometimes I add bacon bits. My crew loves them on butter toasted buns and cheddar cheese added on top. Delicious!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Always a hit! Anytime you have the crack chicken, whether as a slider or dip or whatever, it’s a winner! You can even put it on salad. I’ve been making it for a long time. I did try it with the zesty ranch…not a fan.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good sliders These were good and easy to prepare. A blue cheese based dipping sauce is required in my opinion

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Easy but entirely way too much cream cheese! I used 5 chicken breast which is more than was is required for the recipe and it tastes like just melted cream cheese and chicken. I would recommend only using one block of cream cheese. Also add some black pepper because it’s very bland in my opinion.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Slightly disappointed After everyone telling me how great this was i was Slightly disappointed. Not something that actually goes well on rolls or buns. Definitely better used as a dip. We ended up dipping tortilla chips in it. because i knew the final outcome would be messy eating on rolls we had bought. would probably go good on top of rice or Noodles as well. ... was also a bit Salty.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for more than sliders! I have been making this for years without knowing that it was called Slow Cooker Crack Chicken, it is definitely addicting! I also use this combination to make enchiladas or to just eat in a cold burrito. When I make it in the oven, I make sure to cover with a mixed cheese(mexican or three cheese shredded cheese), once I have prepared in crockpot/slow cooker or on stove.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Big Hit I made the crack chicken for dinner tonight and it was a huge success. I actually made mine in my Instapot, because I was running late. I cooked the chicken first, then shredded it. I set the Instapot to slow cook, added the chicken back in along with the cream cheese and ranch seasoning. I also added a little bit of broth from cooking the chicken. It was delicious. I will definitely make it again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So Easy! This recipe is so easy and tastes great. I just threw the ingredients into the Crock Pot and went on with my day. I made only half of the recipe because I live alone and didn't want a lot of leftovers, but now I wish I'd made more.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good and easy I made this a few days ago and everyone really liked the taste. We served it first with rice, and the leftovers on rolls. It was very easy to prepare, and I plan to make it again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Crockpot Crack Chicken If you lick a little heat, easy, then you'd like this twist on pulled chicken.
