The best crack chicken recipe you’ll ever try

You may have seen a recipe or two for crack chicken blowing up on Pinterest. It’s a combination of chicken, ranch dressing, cheese and bacon, usually made in a crockpot. Listen: don’t get me wrong, those flavors are delicious, especially layered together. But if we’re talking a truly addictive, absolutely salivating, crave-it-more-than-once-a-week recipe, it’s got to BRING THE FLAVOR. Like, that knock your socks off, holy crap, damn that’s good FLAVOR. This recipe is it. With warm, sweet, tangy, and creamy components, this elegant dish will tantalize your senses.

That’s what this Creamy Crack Chicken is: perfectly cooked and properly juicy chicken breasts seasoned with an explosion of flavors, harmonizing together in an addictively creamy sauce. You’ll love it, your kids will love it, it’s a win-win. Best of all? This is a one pot recipe that comes together in 30 minutes. Win-win-win-win.

Dairy-Free Creamy Crack Chicken

Warm and sweet with a slight Middle Eastern flair. Creamy, juicy, and absolutely addictive. This flavor combo is named creamy crack chicken for a reason!

Yes, this one-skillet chicken recipe is dairy-free. The secret is using full-fat canned coconut milk or homemade cashew milk for the sauce — this will guarantee the creamiest result with no dairy.

In addition to the creaminess and Middle Eastern spice influence, this recipe is slightly sweetened with coconut sugar. Written as is, the macros are still keto-friendly, but if you want, you could swap coconut sugar for a golden monk fruit sweetener, I like Lakanto. Either way, it’s only 1/3 teaspoon of sweetener per serving, so you can make it work for any dietary preferences.

You can use any kind of vinegar you have on hand and any kind of mustard, too — this recipe is super flexible and pairs well with any side dish. Keto crack chicken? Yep. Dairy-free crack chicken? You got it. Creamy Crack Chicken for all!

Where to buy supplies for this one skillet chicken recipe

Going forward, I plan on using links to companies who are supporting their communities, unlike some of the larger online organizations that refuse to use their funds and influence to support those in need. One of my favorite companies to shop with is Thrive Market. With the pandemic going on, Thrive has really stepped up to help: the CEO is donating the rest of his 2020 salary to help families impacted by COVID-19.

Thrive also gives customers the option to help contribute to the Thrive Market COVID-19 Relief Fund, and they are committed to not engage in surge pricing. They have always gone above and beyond to provide healthy options to everyone, and to support the environment by becoming a zero-waste company. It feels good to support companies who choose to do the right thing, even when it’s not the most profitable choice, and I encourage you to do the same if you are able! They’re offering a 25% off discount to new Thrive customers here.
