Slow-cooker Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwiches, sometimes called \u201ccrack chicken,\u201d are made with bacon, cream cheese, chicken, cheddar cheese, and ranch seasonings. They\u2019re a family favorite!<\/p>\n

I love using our crock pot during the fall and winter months because the food that it makes is always so comforting, like my favorite Ultimate Slow Cooker Pot Roast\u00a0and\u00a0Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken\u00a0which is a family favorites.<\/p>\n

Crack Chicken may not be a term of endearment I\u2019d use for this chicken, but it\u2019s the name it\u2019s widely known as, so we should at least mention it. Let\u2019s refer to it from here on out, though, at Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwiches, which I don\u2019t know about you, but that makes my mouth water.<\/p>\n

The process of making this recipe is pretty hands off and fairly similar to the one used in making\u00a0Buffalo Chicken Dip. The chicken and cream cheese and cheese and seasonings are all added to the slow cooker ahead of time. The only thing you have to add to your sandwich separately is the extra cheddar if you\u2019d like it and the crumbled bacon.<\/p>\n

Side Note<\/strong>: I know we\u2019d love a dump-and-go crockpot crack chicken recipe, but there\u2019s no version that tastes good where you add the bacon to the crockpot. Either buy crumbles or know you\u2019re going to cook it off before making the sandwiches for the best flavors.<\/p>\n
