- Slice the rolls or buns in half and top the bottom half with crack chicken.
- Top with the other half of the roll and serve.
Notes
- Keep shredded chicken in your freezer or canned on your pantry shelf so you have it on hand to quickly make this recipe when dinner sneaks up on you. You can set the frozen chicken in the fridge to thaw overnight or use from frozen as it will warm quickly in the pot.
- Cook a whole chicken in the crockpot and use the leftovers to make crack chicken sliders. This is a great way to add flavor to the crack chicken sliders.
- For faster melting, cut cream cheese up into cubes before adding to the pot.
- Stir chicken and cheeses constantly to avoid burning.
- Add garlic powder and onion powder to taste for additional seasoning.
- For traditional crack chicken flavor, add a packet of ranch seasoning to the chicken mixture.
- To mix things up, serve crack chicken as a dip with tortilla chips or over baked potatoes.
- Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
