Description

Crockpot Ranch Chicken is a flavorful, creamy, and comforting slow-cooked dish made with chicken breasts, ranch seasoning, and cream cheese. It’s an easy, family-friendly meal perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (1 oz) packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cooked bacon (optional)
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a crockpot.
  2. Sprinkle ranch seasoning evenly over the chicken.
  3. Add cream cheese and pour chicken broth over the top.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender and cooked through.
  5. Shred the chicken in the crockpot using two forks and stir to combine with the sauce.
  6. Optional: stir in shredded cheddar cheese and cooked bacon just before serving for extra flavor.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
