Ingredients
Chicken Filling
2 lbs chicken breasts or thighs
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
½ cup chicken broth (or milk for extra creaminess)
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp paprika
Tortillas (flour or corn)
Toppings (Optional but Recommended)
Shredded lettuce or cabbage
Diced tomatoes
Green onions
Jalapeños
Avocado slices or guacamole
Sour cream
Extra cheddar
Directions
Cook the Chicken
Place chicken in a skillet or pot.
Add broth, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Cover and simmer 20–25 minutes until tender (or slow cook 3–4 hrs on high / 6–7 hrs on low).
Make It Creamy
Shred chicken.
Stir in cream cheese and cheddar until melty and smooth.
Fold in bacon pieces, saving some for topping.
Warm & Fill Tacos
Heat tortillas.
Scoop creamy crack chicken inside.
Top with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and other toppings.
Sprinkle remaining bacon and cheddar.
Serve
Best enjoyed hot and gooey!
Tips for Success
Crisp filled tacos in a skillet with butter for extra crunch.
Add hot sauce or cayenne for a spicy kick.
Leftover filling works beautifully in sliders, quesadillas, or spooned over rice.
