The original recipe had a ratio problem or I had a chicken problem. It did not work as a main dish sandwich meal for me. My chicken breasts were probably smaller but if using Costco breasts and hoping for a main dish either use larger breasts or double the amount of them. The two, 8 oz. blocks of cream cheese was way too much for a sandwich when you are expecting a chicken sandwich. If you want a cheese sandwich then you are all set. It was suppose to be served on a hoagie with a slice of cheddar and bacon but that would have been off the charts. I guess it is called "crack" cause it can kill you vs. you can't stop eating it. Today trying the leftovers I realized it is more of a cold spread or hot dip if same day so spreading it on a slice of sour dough was perfect. The recipe now makes much more sense to me. Original recipe came from
https://myincrediblerecipes.com/slow-cooker-cream-cheese-crack-chicken/ . I saw another recipe that used 2 pkg. of Ranch so cutting the cream cheese in half will work fine. I also saw recipes with 2-3 lb. of chicken so that ratio may work better.
