UPDATED RECIPE!
I love hearing from all my fellow Crock Potters and I heard some feedback that this dish needed a little more pizazz to it! So I went ahead and tried 5 more versions until I created this new version. It has some savory bacon to balance the sweet Chick-fil-A sauce and bell peppers to add some crunch. I did swap out the frozen potatoes for real diced potatoes so they are more firm at the end of cooking.
I'm beyond excited about this recipe because I love sauces and this might be my favorite yet! When I go to restaurants if there is sauce available I will try every one of the sauces (And yes I have tried every sauce at Chick-fil-A). So when I found Chick-fil-A Sauce at the store I did a little happy dance. If you haven't tried my Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta it is another easy dinner made with Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce.

What is Chick-fil-A Sauce?
Chick-fil-A sauce is the perfect blend between a smokey BBQ sauce and honey mustard. Chick-fil-A tweeted out in 2012 that the Chick-fil-A sauce is just a mixture of honey mustard, barbecue sauce, and ranch dressing. Yes, that’s it... but good luck trying to get those amounts just right to make your own at home. This sauce is so good you will want to eat it with a spoon. I think I actually go to Chick-fil-A more for this sauce than for the nuggets themselves. I could easily use an entire dipping container on a single nugget!
Where to get Chick-fil-A Sauce?
Until now the only place you could get your hands on this sauce was at your local fast food chain Chick-fil-A in tiny little cups. However, I was walking through Walmart the other day minding my own business in the condiment aisle and saw the Chick-fil-A logo from the corner of my eye. As I got closer I saw my eyes weren't tricking me Chick-fil-A Sauce was sitting on the shelf along with their Polynesian Sauce (that recipe coming soon).
You can get it at Walmart, Target, Amazon and lots of grocery stores. It is located in the BBQ and condiment aisle. The best part about the Chick-fil-A sauce that is available at store is that 100% of the proceeds go to scholarships for Chick-fil-A employees. I can't imagine a better reason to give this sauce a try!
Easy Casseroles for the Win
I love a sauce that I can take and make it into a new dish! I started with an idea to make shredded chicken sandwiches with it but decided it could probably be made into something even better. I've always loved a good casserole so I thought that this sauce would be a great base for a fun new casserole. Of course, I want it to be fast to make so it has simple ingredients that only take a few minutes to prep!
Since I love to dip my fries and nuggets in Chick-fil-A sauce I figured I would need some potatoes in the casserole. The first time I made this I used frozen diced potatoes. However, a few people have said the potatoes turn too mushy when it is finished cooking so I recommend using fresh diced potatoes so they hole their texture longer.
This one-pot dinner has everything you need for a full dinner. I did add a green salad to have a few more veggies but it is filling and you could easily serve it alone.
How to Make Chick-fil-A Sauce Casserole
Step 1. Add 2 pounds of cubed chicken and diced potatoes into the slow cooker bowl.
Step 2. Pour 8 oz Chick-fil-A Sauce, 8 oz cream cheese, bell peppers, bacon, rosemary and chopped onions on top of chicken. Mix everything until it is combined.
Step 3. Cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours until potatoes are tender.
Step 4. Serve with shredded cheese, more bacon, and green onions.
Tips
- Make sure to salt to taste once it has finished cooking! This is one of my biggest tips on every meal you make. Everyone has a different preference for salt so it's always better to salt at the end so you can get it to your liking.
- Add a little more sauce at the end for a bolder flavor. Again, I love sauce so I like to add a little more.
- Top with crumbled bacon or fritos chips for a little crunch.
Making casseroles is one of my favorite things to make in the Crock Pot! I always love having dinner all ready for me when I come home from a long day. If you want some more casserole ideas check out these recipes!

This sounded really good when I first read the recipe. I went and bought all the ingredients. Then I started to read the negative reviews after I started making it, and got a little nervous. Sure enough it’s honestly awful. The flavor is so strange.. and I’m just not a fan at all. Followed every direction to a T. My husband didn’t like it either. Sorry but I wouldn’t suggest this recipe to anyone.
Kelcey says
This recipe was absolutely awful. Followed everything exactly as it was written. My husband wouldn’t eat it either.
Roxanne J Rink says
Everything looks great would love the recipes! Straight out..
Stacy says
Absolutely terrible!! Not only did it smell bad while cooking but it tasted equally as bad!!!
Allison Treadwell says
Hi Stacy...I'm so sorry to hear you didn't like the recipe. I appreciate your feedback. This recipe seems to be polarizing and if it didn't have 4 stars from almost 300 people I would try to change it. Do you have any recommendations on how to make it more to your taste?

I've been searching for a crock-pot recipe with Chick-Fil-A sauce, because it's not easy to find. This was a perfect fit, so I purchased the ingredients. Shortly after, I read the atrocious comments/reviews on here. I was expecting it would taste awful...meanwhile, I'm sitting here literally licking my crock-pot clean! What is wrong with you people?? This was delicious! The bacon, chicken and Chick-Fil-A sauce made for a smokey taste, and news flash...if it's not enough flavor for you...did you know for absolutely $0 you can open your cabinet and add some seasoning to the chicken or to the casserole, instead of complaining?? Cooking requires being flexible. I would certainly not trash this whole recipe just because it did not have "enough flavor" for some of you. It took 0.0001 seconds for me to add a pinch of onion powder, garlic powder and Italian seasoning to my chicken and that was it. No inconvenience, no complaints. You don't throw out the whole house cause the sink is broken, just adjust it to your liking. Rude, tasteless people. If you didn't like it all you have to say is "wasn't for me." To the author- this was a GREAT recipe! THANK YOU for sharing it. I'm sorry you got so much back-lash, I'd be happy to take all of these tasteless people's leftovers...and all their "husbands" who supposedly also hated it lmao.

Hi Felicia! Thank you so much for your review! I know that is recipe isn't for everyone but my family and lots of other families do like it!
Gale Zelms says
I saw this recipe, bought the ingredients and made it. Sooo yummy, although I made a goof and used the Polynesian sauce instead of the regular sauce. Next time will try the recipe as written, as long as I read the bottle label.😂
Molly says
This was pretty tasty! I added onion salt, garlic powder, pepper and some paprika. I was happy with it. Clearly a comfort food crockpot dish. The bacon helps!!
Allison Treadwell says
Hi Molly! Love all the additions and am so happy you liked it 🙂 Thanks for crockin' with me!
Brenda says
I’m going to try your recipe with some tweaks. I can’t have potatoes but know that I can either sub stuff or just leave out. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. The hate is more likely due to the fact that many people hate Chick-Fil-A. I’m sorry they have taken it out on you. I know my 4 yo grandson will go nuts for this so thank you so much!
Tabith says
Tried this recipe tonight and it was pretty good! I would add more seasonings but it was still good regardless! Very easy and will definitely be making again.
Allison Treadwell says
So happy you liked it! Let me know what you add so I can try it!
