There is no joking about this, you need this Crock Pot Ranch Chicken in your meal planning arsenal! It is only four ingredients and so easy to make since there are no steps to it! This is one of those recipes I make year round busy soccer nights, school nights, and even days where we just get swamped running errands. (I have included links to some great products that can make your life easier. You can buy them through my online sales links which will earn the site a commission.)
Now I know I am not the only mom that loves those dump it and let it cook dinners. This can be made with frozen or fresh chicken and if you make to much the leftovers are perfect for another dinner or a lunch. if you can’t tell my favorite part of the Crock Pot Ranch Chicken is being able to plop the ingredients in the Crock Pot
This is the 8-quart crock pot I have and that I make Crock Pot Ranch Chicken in! I promise your life will be so much easier with a large crock pot, plus it makes for easy cooking to have leftovers as well. You can order one on Amazon so you don’t even have to leave the house, order and bam UPS man is saving dinner time for you when you use Amazon Prime 2 day delivery! (Don’t have Prime?? You NEED for easy online shopping!!)
Hamilton Beach
Slow Cooker, 8-Quart
Crock Pot Ranch Chicken Ingredients:
- 5 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 3 Cream of Chicken Soup
- 3 cans of milk I used 2% just used the empty cans to measuer the amount of milk
- 3 Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning
- Salt and Pepper to taste
I love that you can order so many different groceries on Amazon!!! It sure beats having to run to the store, especially with the way we all lead crazy busy lives!
Crock Pot Ranch Chicken Directions:
Turn your crock pot on low
Spray Crock Pot with spray I use my -> Home Made NonStick Spray
Mix the cream of chicken, milk, ranch powder, salt, and pepper together in the crock pot. I use a one to one ration for the milk and soup. Depending on how much chicken I am making I use a can of soup paired with a can of milk. Let the mixture sit for about 30 minutes on low.
Place chicken breast in the mixture and leave on low for 3-6 hours depending on how fast your crock pot cooks.
Be sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure the meat is cooked properly I love my EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Thermometer
I also take easy dinner to the next level and serve this up with rice from a rice cooker!! I mean is there a better sight than two appliances making your dinner with little effort. (My rice cooker is similar to this one -> here so easy to use and also is a steamer)

I’m definitely going to be adding this recipe to my menu plan this week!
Cheryl says
ummmmm, sounds yummy, but where is the Hidden Valley introduced? mixed w/milk & soup or as a coating?
Jenny says
Added it into the recipe. In with the milk and soup combo. Thank you for pointing that out!
Crystal says
Your cook time says 3-6 hours, that’s quite a span! How long would you say it took for your 8 qt? I also have an 8 qt. Thanks
Jenny says
Alot of the variation in cook time is frozen meat vs thawed meat and knowing how your slow cooker cooks. Mine cooks a bit hot so I normally ended up at about the 4 1/2 hour range. Hope that helps.
Joanne T Ferguson says
Always enjoy seeing your posts and thanks for sharing with the Say G’day Party! Pinned and hope to see you on Saturday!
Jaime says
Have you ever tried it with the chicken starting out as frozen? Do u recommend a cooking time if they are frozen to begin with?
Jenny says
I have a girlfriend who has and says it takes about a bit longer, she only cooks with frozen chicken in the crock pot. I would be sure to make you keep an eye on them and double check the temperature when you think they are done.
Michelle says
For your chicken ranch crock pot recipe how many chicken breasts should I use. Obviously I’m not a good guesser 🙂 thanks!!
Kristina Adams says
I was wondering the same thing. I only have a little crock pot for basically a couple servings. So I was figuring 1 of everything to make it for one person. I like that this is so simple. Will definitely have to try it soon.
Jenny says
I do about 2-3 chicken breasts in the crock pot depending on their size.
dee says
When do you shredded the chicken
Jenny says
I make mine in my crock pot in bulk and freeze it out. I put the directions to it in this post -> http://pennypincherjenny.com/crock-pot-shredded-chicken/ hope that helps!!
Jenny says
I just realized I responded with the wrong answer!! When you pull the chicken breast from the crock pot mine comes apart easy and we normally just squish it with a fork and it instantly shreds.
dee says
Thanks I’m going to make this tonight thanks a lot
Heaven says
Sounds wonderfully easy and fast!

Lisa says
Can I make this with chicken breast strips ? I have been searching for a good recipe to use ranch seasoning mix in , and to use my crock pot 🙂 It look very yummy I can’t wait to try it !
Jenny says
I think it would work they would just cook faster. It is one of our favorites!
Lynn says
Do you use the whole packet of ranch?
Jenny says
Yes you do. Or measure out the amount out of a large container of the ranch seasoning for a packet.
Crystal says
1 packet of ranch or 3?
Jenny says
1 packet of ranch seasoning.
Sara Campbell says
What kind of milk is used? Evaporated milk? I ask because that is the only canned milk I can think of.
Jenny says
I used 2% milk I just used the cans to measure it. I will edit it to say that.
Sandra L Garth says
Chicken and rice is always a favorite around here!
Jaclyn Anne says
