Crock Pot Ranch Chicken
Description
This slow cooker recipe involves mixing ranch seasoning, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth before adding chicken breasts to the crockpot. Cooking on low heat for 4 to 6 hours allows the chicken to become very tender as it soaks up the ranch and creamy soup flavors. The ranch mix lends a distinctive herb and spice profile, while the soup adds richness and moisture, preventing the chicken from drying out.
Since all the primary components contain salt, seasoning is adjusted at the start by tasting the combined sauce and modifying salt to preference. The dish can be served as is or sliced for use in sandwiches, salads, or wraps. The slow cooking yields chicken suitable for a variety of meals.
To reduce salt, low-sodium cream of chicken soup and unsalted broth are recommended. Monitoring the cooking time helps keep the chicken moist and avoids overcooking. This can be prepared ahead and is convenient for busy days.
