✔Ingredients Notes For Baked Crack Chicken:

• Chicken Breasts: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are ideal for this recipe, ensuring a quick and even cooking.
• Cream Cheese: Adds a creamy texture and tangy flavor, serving as the base for the cheese mixture.
• Ranch Seasoning: Provides all the spices you need in one packet, making this dish flavorful with minimal effort.
• Bacon: Cooked until crispy and crumbled, it adds a smoky, crunchy texture.
• Cheddar Cheese: Shredded for easy melting; adds a sharp, cheesy flavor that complements the creamy base.
• Green Onions: Chopped for garnishing, adding a fresh, sharp bite that cuts through the richness.
• Garlic Powder: Enhances the overall flavor profile of the dish.

✔Recipe Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Mix the Cheese Mixture:
   • In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, half of the ranch seasoning packet, and half of the shredded cheddar. Spread this mixture over the chicken breasts evenly.
4. Bake:
   • Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the cheese is bubbly.
5. Add Bacon and Serve:
   • Sprinkle the cooked, crumbled bacon and chopped green onions over the top before serving.

✔Storage Options:

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
