Recipe Description

This Crockpot Creamy Bacon Chicken is one of those magical recipes that vanishes the moment it hits the table. With just three simple ingredients, it delivers rich, creamy, savory flavor with tender chicken and crispy bacon in every bite.

Ingredients (Only 3!)

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 16 oz cream cheese (2 blocks), cubed

  • 8–10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.

  2. Add cubed cream cheese evenly over the chicken.

  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender.

  4. Shred or lightly stir the chicken into the creamy sauce.

  5. Top with crumbled bacon just before serving.

Notes

  • No liquid is needed. The chicken releases natural juices while cooking.

  • Cream cheese will look chunky at first but smooths out when stirred.

  • Bacon is best added at the end to keep it crisp.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture.

  • Cut chicken breasts in half if they’re very thick.

  • Stir once near the end for an extra-smooth sauce.

  • Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, pasta, or with crusty bread.

Serving Ideas

  • Over white or brown rice

  • With egg noodles or pasta
