Ninja Foodi Crack Chicken

Pressure Cooker Ninja Foodi crack chicken turns out amazing with bacon! If you’ve never made this cream cheese chicken keto dinner, you’re in for a real treat tonight. 

We have a lot of Instant Pot recipes which work in the Foodi as well. Of course that pot only has the pressure cooker function but that is all you need for this. No air crisp is required as you want to create creamy shredded chicken with cream cheese on a bun goodness.

First we made this crack chicken casserole and just couldn’t stop there because it was just so good and people raved about it.

Here’s how easy this pressure cooker crack chicken is to make. You can use any brand you have really.

It really is a creamy chicken and cream cheese dish that can be made as a dip or put on buns for sandwiches.

One of our favorite Ninja Foodi chicken recipes that’s pure comfort food!

Shredded Chicken in Ninja Foodi

You just cook the chicken with the broth, cream cheese and bacon that is precooked. You can also add the bacon at the end, your choice.

We haven’t used frozen chicken but if was in smaller chunks it would probably work fine too.

• Add the chicken tenders or sliced boneless, skinless breasts.
• 12 minutes was perfect with our chicken tenders. I would set to 15 minutes for halved thicker breasts.
• Quick release when done.
• Then shred or I have removed the chicken to shred before. Either way works fine.

Shredded chicken in general is very versatile. You can serve it as:

• Sliders inside simple rolls
• On top of Ninja Foodi rice
• Inside small tortillas
• On an open faced bagel

Scoop some of this goodness inside of half of a bell pepper or avocado!

Of course bacon is optional but with this crack chicken recipe you really should go all out and do NOT count the calories friends!

Ingredients needed for Ninja Foodi crack chicken:

• Chicken 
  • halved chicken breasts
  • or chicken tenders already skinless and boneless
• Cream cheese
• Onion

Use either freshly cooked and diced bacon or you can buy a bag of real bacon bits and use that if you want to skip a step in the process. With this machine though you can air fry bacon first and then just move on from there.

• Ranch seasonings mix
  • this is how you make your own
• Chicken broth
• Chives or green onions are optional
• Cheese

You can use a bit of cornstarch if you want to thicken it up a bit at the end but I have never thought that that was necessary myself.

This is what it looks like with the recipe below and allowing it to sit and cool down for about 10 minutes.

Tip: It will thicken up quite a bit if you let it cool off just a bit. Also, the more chicken you add the thicker the overall mixture will be. 

• You can use 1-2 pounds of meat for this. I use what I have on hand really. Chicken thighs are quite wonderful too if you’d prefer using those. 
• Use the same ranch mix to make pressure cooker crack chicken dip as an appetizer or chicken crack soup.

This recipe works well for Instant Pot crack chicken too if that is the type of pressure cooking pot you own. Just 20 minutes and done kinda’ meal we love!

If you only have a slow cooker you can make our crockpot crack chicken. They come out similar for sure it is just that one takes most of the day to get fork tender and this one is finished in literally no time at all.

After you fall in love with this, then make our air fryer stuffed chicken breasts! These don’t shred like what you see here. If you like your meat to stay in tact this is another great dinner option for sure. We love one pot meals that need very little to no prep to them.

Serve it on mini buns for a fun dinner idea or appetizer when friends come over. Let us know if you serve it another fun way we might want to try out.
