Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken: If your chicken breasts are large, you may want to butterfly or pound them to even out their thickness. This ensures even cooking. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Make the Crack Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Mix until well combined.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a slow cooker. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. If you’re in a hurry, you can also cook the chicken in the Instant Pot for about 10-15 minutes on high pressure (with a natural release) or in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes.
  4. Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken in the slow cooker. Stir everything together, ensuring the chicken is fully coated with the creamy mixture.
  5. Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with your favorite low-carb sides like steamed vegetables, a side salad, or cauliflower rice.

Weight Watchers Tips:

  • Reduce Points: You can reduce the points further by using non-fat cream cheese and omitting or reducing the cheese and bacon. Greek yogurt adds a nice creamy texture without adding too many points.
  • Alternative Protein: If you prefer, you can substitute chicken with turkey or even lean pork for a different protein option.
  • Low-Carb Side Options: Pair the crack chicken with steamed broccoli, zucchini noodles, or a simple salad to keep the meal low in carbs and high in fiber.

This Weight Watchers Crack Chicken recipe is super creamy, flavorful, and satisfying, without being loaded with points. It’s a great way to enjoy a comfort food favorite while sticking to your Weight Watchers goals!
