If you love creamy, hearty recipes as much as I do, don't miss this ranch chicken in the Crockpot!
With simple ingredients and minimal prep, you will love this simple dish.
Serve this Crockpot Ranch Chicken recipe over rice, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes for a hearty meal, or alongside steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad for a lighter option.
Ingredients
- Chicken: I used boneless skinless chicken breast to make this recipe, but you could use boneless skinless chicken thighs if you prefer.
- Ranch Seasoning: I like using my homemade ranch seasoning, but if you are tight on time, a packet of dry ranch dressing mix works too.
- Cream of Chicken Soup: I use a can for this, but you can certainly make your own if you prefer. Cream of celery or cream of mushroom soup would also work.
- Milk: I have found that I prefer full-fat dairy in the slow cooker. Chicken broth can also be used.
- Sour Cream: Full fat sour cream will provide the best texture.

Tips and Tricks
- Customizing: You can include vegetables like bell peppers, baby carrots, mushrooms, or onions. For an even richer “crack” chicken, try adding in some cubed cream cheese.
- Cooking time: Avoid overcooking, as this can cause the chicken to become dry and tough.
- Leftovers and storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water, milk, or broth if needed to maintain the desired consistency.
