Pin This RecipeWe are totally addicted to this Crack Chicken Spaghetti! OMG! SO good! Chicken spaghetti loaded with cheddar, bacon and ranch. My all-time favorite flavor combination! Just in case you are new here, I came up with the Crack flavor way back in 2007. It all started with a dip made with cheddar, bacon and ranch mix. I made the dip for a tailgate and everyone went crazy for it. Nobody could stop eating it and they said it was like crack. Hence the name, Crack Dip. I now take those flavors and “crack out” all my favorite foods.
This Crack Chicken Spaghetti can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen until you are ready to serve. If you freeze the dish, make sure to thaw it in the refrigerator before baking.
We LOVED this Crack Chicken Spaghetti. I have actually made it a few times over the last month and it has been a hit every single time! It tastes great right out of the oven and reheated the next day. I used rotisserie chicken for the chicken in the casserole and it came together in a snap! I boil the noodles and get the sauce going at the same time. By the time the noodles are done, the sauce is ready. Just toss it together and throw it in the oven. SO easy!

You have several options, but I suggest baking or slow cooking the chicken breasts and then shredding once you are ready to assemble the dish.
