Why is this called Crack Chicken? The creamy ranch and bacon combination has gotten a nickname because of how addicting it is! While it’s definitely not a politically correct term these days, it is how everyone knows the dish and why I named it as such.
I use a mixer to shred chicken, pork, and beef! How do you serve Crack Chicken? There are so many ways to eat this recipe! Serve it in a pita, on a sandwich roll, on top of a salad, in stuffed peppers, and by itself as a dip for veggies! What makes this version healthy is the creative substitution of key ingredients, like Greek yogurt and cottage cheese.
Blended together, the yogurt loses that tart taste and the cottage cheese loses its chunks. I promise you this doesn’t taste of either ingredient. My family loves when I make this dish. Greek yogurt to lower the fat and increase the protein. I suggest freezing it in individual servings and thawing in the fridge before reheating. This recipe is perfect for meal prep! If you want to thin out your crack chicken sauce, add some almond milk or water to it.
If you want to thicken your crack chicken sauce, I’d chill the dairy ingredients first, and if that doesn’t work I would add some more chicken to the recipe. You can use frozen chicken breasts or thawed in this recipe-the cook time is the same in the Instant Pot, it will just take a little longer to come to pressure. The Instant Pot is my go-to choice for cooking this dish. For those that want to make it in the slow cooker, other pressure cooker, or on the oven, I’ve got you covered.
I’ve included multiple variations on how to cook this recipe below. Place the thawed or frozen chicken in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add 1 cup water, then lock the lid into place and turn the pressure valve to seal. Cook on high pressure using the Manual or Pressure Cook function for 12 minutes.
