You may have heard of crack dip, but we're sweetening the crockpot. Cheddar, cream cheese, and slow cooked chicken—a flavour combo so good, it's seriously addicting. No wonder TikTok is losing it over this one. We've just swapped the ranch dressing in the viral recipe for creamy pesto.

Ingredients

  • 1 brick (8 oz/250 g) cream cheese
  • 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1⁄2 cup water
  • 1 pkg Creamy Pesto Parmesan Chicken Skillet Sauce Mix

Preparation

  1. Cut cream cheese into cubes. In a slow cooker, combine cream cheese, chicken, cheddar, and water. Sprinkle skillet sauce mix over top.
  2. Cover; cook on low 5–6 hr or on high 2 1⁄2–3 hr.
  3. Transfer chicken to a cutting board. With two forks, pull meat into shreds. Stir shreds back into the sauce.
  4. Add toppings, if desired. Serve as a hot chicken dip; over noodles or rice; or spooned over baked potatoes.
