What is Crack Chicken?
This is referred to as a “crack” chicken recipe because it is so addicting. The flavor combination of chicken, bacon, ranch, and cheese really is irresistible! One of the best things about this flavor combo is its versatility. It can be served as a dip or with a bun, quesadilla, wrap, slider, and even more! This is one of the reasons crack chicken has become a popular potluck or party dish.
Crack Chicken Foil Pack Recipe
You might be asking why you would prepare a meal in a foil pack rather than in a slow cooker or baking in the oven. Foil packs don’t leave dirty pots and pans so there is virtually no cleanup. They are especially great options in the summer. You can toss the foil pack on the grill or even directly on campfire coals! Plates aren’t even a necessity so there truly can be zero cleanup if you choose.
This is also a great recipe for meal prepping. You can make this dish ahead of time and reheat or prepare the foil packs earlier in the week then all you have to do is toss them on the oven or grill 20 minutes before you plan to serve them. We also have a Crockpot Crack Chicken recipe in case you do prefer to use a slower cooker.
