This Crack Chicken Penne is super creamy, cheesy, loaded with bacon and all done in one pot! We're talking chicken, pasta, cheese and bacon, you can't go wrong!&nbsp;

Crack Chicken Penne

bacon (thick cut)

lb chicken breast

oz ranch salad dressing

oz penne (uncooked,

chicken broth (low sodium

oz cream cheese (I used Philadelphia)

cheddar cheese (shredded)

Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven until crispy. I used a Le Creuset 3 3/4 quart round braiser. Remove the bacon from the pot and drain some of the bacon fat, leaving about 1 tbsp of fat. Chop the bacon into bits.

In the same pot add the chicken and cook for about 3 minutes over medium-high heat, until it starts to brown. It will still be pink inside and uncooked.

Add the ranch seasoning mix to the chicken and stir, making sure each chicken pieces is coated in the seasoning mix.

Add the penne, chicken broth and stir, then bring to a boil. Reduce to a low heat, cover and cook for abut 15 to 20 minutes or until the pasta is cooked al dente or to your preference. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot. There should still be some liquid in the pot when the pasta is done cooking. Add more broth if needed, though I found that 3 1/2 cups was perfect.

Add the cream cheese to the pot and stir it in, until the sauce is creamy and most of the cream cheese has melted.&nbsp;

Add the bacon back to the pot then add about 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir everything until well combined. The cheese should melt nicely.

Sprinkle the remaining half cup of cheddar cheese over the top and cover the pot with the lid. Cook for about 30 seconds then turn off the heat and remove the lid. The cheese should have melted. Alternatively you can place the Dutch oven in the oven under the broiler for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and starts to brown on top.

Garnish with parsley and serve.

Crack Pot Roast In The Pressure Cooker-Ninja Foodi

Ranch dressing OR

Beef Broth

bacon

tbsp dill weed

lb Chuck roast (Your roast can weigh more and that will not affect cook time)

kosher salt and pepper

oz Baby carrots (optional)

corn starch (Optional for thicker gravy)

Crack Pot Roast in the Pressure Cooker-Ninja Foodi

First we cooked our bacon in the Ninja Foodi. Set on 400 degrees for 12 minutes. It was extra crispy. Less time is fined depending on how you like your bacon. Set bacon aside and proceed to next step

You can leave the bacon grease in the pot. Just be sure you scraped any bits off the bottom in case anything stuck. Next, add one cup of beef broth to the pot

Add chuck roast to the pot. Pour ranch dressing, or sprinkle packet on top of roast. Sprinkle dill weed on top if your ranch dressing is not seasoned with it.

Place whole cream cheese cube on top of the chuck roast. Set pressure cooker to high temperature for 55 minutes.

Let naturally release for 5 minutes and then you may release the remaining steam.

At this point you may remove lid with caution, away from your face. Dump carrots on top of meat, and place the lid back on the pot and set to high pressure for 6 minutes. Quick release.

If you would like a little thicker sauce, you may slather a little cornstarch in a bowl with water and then dump in the pot and mix. Be sure to mix sauce well. The sauce will thicken. Break your bacon pieces over each plated serving. We served over mashed potatoes. ENJOY

Crockpot crack chicken is great made into sandwiches or little appetizer sliders! Tender cream cheese chicken shredded to perfection in your slow cooker.

Crockpot Crack Chicken

lbs chicken breasts (used 4 med. size pcs., boneless and skinless)

oz cream cheese

c cheese (colby jack used, shredded)

pkg. ranch dressing seasoning (1 oz)

bacon (precooked, diced, optional)

Spray non stick spray into your slow cooker and put chicken breasts at the bottom. Cut cream cheese blocks in half and put on top of meat.

Sprinkle in ranch seasoning and garlic powder, then add cheese on top of everything.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6 hours.

When time is up use two forks to shred chicken and stir all ingredients together so chicken is nice and coated. (if it shreds super easy with forks it is done, if breasts are thick and it is a bit tough then leave in for more time) Add bacon if you&#x27;d like now.

Serve on buns, bread or rolls.
