On a bun. As a dip. In a wrap. On a cracker. It doesn’t matter how you serve this slow cooker creamy bacon chicken, you’re going to love it. Tender, moist chicken. Creamy cheese. Bacon. Ranch dressing flavors. Bacon. Oh, I said that already. I love bacon. There’s no reason that you couldn’t add a bit more bacon to the crockpot. Kinda slip an extra piece or two in for that extra bacon-y flavor.
Creamy Deliciousness
Slow cooker creamy bacon chicken is mighty darned good as it is. Now, you know me (or well, maybe you don’t) but I like a little kick to my food. I would not be afraid to use jalapeno cream cheese instead of the plain stuff. And I wouldn’t be afraid to add a few squirts of Sriracha or my favorite hot sauce, either. Heck, throw in some diced roasted jalapenos too. You can always make two versions. One nice and mellow and one nice and spicy.
Shredded vs Cubed
If you want your chicken to have a bit more texture than the shredded version in the recipe, just cut into small cubes instead. Same great taste with a little bit different bite to it. You can also go half-and-half, which I often like to do with cooked chicken. So half is chunky, the rest is shredded.

Chicken Ssssalad?
I served this chicken warmed. It wasn’t until I took the last bite that it occurred to me that I missed the opportunity to also try it cold. In ways, it’s a bit like a chicken salad. For me, that usually means piled deep and high on toasted white bread. Well-toasted. Although there’s a bit of a crunch from the bacon it’s not enough for me. I need more, so well-toasted bread would be required.
