Creamy Crockpot Ranch Chicken

This recipe is definitely a family favorite! It’s easy to make, tastes amazing, and pleases even the pickiest eaters (I have first-hand knowledge of this!) You only need a few minutes to put everything in the crockpot, and then a few minutes after cooking to mix in a couple ingredients for the sauce.

That’s all it takes for creamy, flavorful, chicken that tastes good paired with just about anything!

Crockpot Ranch Chicken

Ingredients:

• About 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Jillee’s House Seasoning (about 1 teaspoon of each: onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, ground pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt)
• About 2 Tablespoons ranch seasoning and salad dressing mix (click here for a homemade alternative)
• 1 (10.75) oz can of cream of chicken soup (click here for a homemade alternative)
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 1 (8 oz) block of cream cheese
• About 1/2 cup milk
• A few cups of your favorite pasta

Start by combining the chicken breasts, house seasoning, ranch dressing mix, and cream of chicken soup in the crockpot. Cook for 6-8 hours on the low setting, or 4 hours on high.

When the chicken is cooked, shred it and return to the crock pot. Now add the butter, cream cheese, and just enough milk for a creamy sauce. Meanwhile, cook some pasta or rice – we always use bowtie pasta!

Serve your creamy chicken over noodles (rice is good too) and enjoy. :-) It’s the perfect recipe for a busy weeknight, and you can easily double the recipe for lots of leftovers – yum!
