5-Ingredient Crack Chicken Sandwich – Quick, Cheesy & Irresistible


  • Author: amys recipes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or boiled chicken works well)

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

  • 4 sandwich buns or rolls, toasted

  • Optional: lettuce, tomato slices, pickles for topping


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
If using cooked chicken, shred it using forks or a mixer for an even, tender texture. Ensure the chicken is warm so the cream cheese melts easily.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan or skillet over medium heat, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and ranch seasoning. Stir continuously until the cream cheese melts and everything is well blended into a creamy mixture.

Step 3: Heat Through
Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheddar cheese is melted and the chicken mixture is creamy and smooth.

Step 4: Prepare Sandwich Buns
Toast your sandwich buns lightly in a skillet or toaster oven for added texture and flavor. This also helps the sandwich hold the creamy filling without becoming soggy.

 

Step 5: Assemble Sandwiches
Spoon a generous portion of the creamy crack chicken onto the bottom half of each bun. Add optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, or pickles if desired. Place the top bun on and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use warm chicken to ensure the cream cheese melts smoothly.

  • Avoid overheating, as cream cheese can become grainy if cooked too long.

  • Toasting the buns enhances flavor and prevents the sandwich from becoming soggy.
