Ingredients for Bacon Cheesy Chicken Crock Pot

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • Ranch Salad Dressing
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 4 ounces cooked bacon, crumbled
  • Cheddar Cheese

How to Make Bacon Cheesy Chicken Crock Pot

  1. Place 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the slow cooker on top of the oil.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup ranch dressing and 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce.
  4. Pour the dressing/teriyaki mixture evenly over and around the chicken.
  5. Crumble 4 ounces of cooked bacon over the chicken.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the bacon.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
