Notes
This recipe is intentionally mild to make it kid friendly, to add a kick you can mix in sliced pepperoncini or banana peppers, red pepper flakes to taste, or a can of Rotel.
Crock pot crack chicken thickens as it cools, when you go to reheat it, add more chicken broth a needed to thin it out.
You can use boneless skinless chicken thighs in place of chicken breasts.
Be sure to shred your cheddar cheese from a block, pre-shredded cheese adds starch and it doesn't melt as well.
If you're eating low carb, look for an organic Ranch seasoning packet that doesn't add sugar.
