  • Author: Patricia Walker

Description

If you’re looking for a comforting, flavorful meal that requires minimal effort, this creamy crock pot ranch chicken is perfect for you. You’ll enjoy tender chicken breasts cooked slowly in a rich, ranch-infused sauce, creating a creamy texture that clings to every bite. Ideal for weeknight dinners, family meals, or meal prep, this recipe gives you restaurant-quality flavors with the convenience of a slow cooker. You can serve it over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes, and it pairs beautifully with fresh vegetables or a crisp salad.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

  • Optional additions: shredded cheddar cheese, frozen peas, garlic powder, sliced mushrooms

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them in a single layer at the bottom of your crock pot.

  • Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning, chicken broth, and cubed cream cheese. Whisk until smooth. Add a pinch of garlic powder or a splash of milk if desired.

  • Combine Ingredients: Pour the sauce over the chicken, making sure each piece is coated. Add butter on top.

  • Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

  • Shred the Chicken: Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot, mixing it with the sauce for an even coating.

  • Serve: Serve over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with parsley and optionally sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps in the sauce.

  • Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for juicier meat.

  • Add vegetables like peas, carrots, or mushrooms during the last hour of cooking.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

  • Reheat gently with a splash of broth or milk to maintain creaminess.

  • This dish pairs well with green beans, roasted broccoli, or a fresh salad.
