Crock Pot Creamy Ranch Chicken
Description
Crock Pot Creamy Ranch Chicken combines russet potatoes and carrots as a base, topped with boneless skinless chicken breasts. The chicken and vegetables cook slowly in a sauce made by whisking condensed cream of chicken soup with dry ranch dressing mix and milk. Cooking on low or high heat for several hours tenderizes the chicken and softens the vegetables.
The ranch flavoring permeates the dish, delivering a creamy and herbaceous taste complemented by natural juices from the chicken and vegetables. The slow cooker method allows flavors to meld without requiring attention during cooking.
Serve the chicken and vegetables together for a filling meal. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired for added color and freshness. The recipe is adaptable to different slow cooker sizes and casseroled ingredients.
Ingredients
- 6 russet potato cut into 2-inch pieces, medium
- 2 cups carrot baby
- 4 chicken breast boneless skinless
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 large can (23 ounces) cream of chicken soup condensed
- 1 packet (1 ounce) dry ranch dressing mix
- 1/2 cup milk
- parsley optional, fresh chopped
Instructions
- Spray a large crock pot (I use a 7 quart) with non-stick spray. Place cut potatoes and baby carrots in the bottom of crock pot. Lay chicken breasts over the top. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, dry ranch dressing mix and milk. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken.
- Cover with lid and cook on high heat 5 to 6 hours OR on low heat 8 to 9 hours. (*It is important to not remove the lid during the entire cook time.) Top each serving with fresh chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use a 7-quart crock pot for best results, but adjust time for different sizes.
- Do not remove the lid during cooking to maintain heat and moisture.
- Fresh parsley garnish adds brightness but is optional.
