Flavorful Dump-and-Go Meal

Crock Pot ranch chicken dinner? Yes, please! This recipe is quick, easy, and extremely flavorful. I’ve made a lot of chicken dishes in the slow cooker, but this one is now a favorite. And it’s even budget friendly, making it a winner all the way around!

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients I used:

• Boneless skinless chicken breast cut into strips
• Potato cut into bite-size pieces
• Baby carrots (or cut-up standard size carrots)
• Cream soup (any flavor will work)
• Milk
• Ranch dressing mix
• Italian seasoning
• Parsley flakes (optional)

Other Ingredient Options

• If you have zucchini or squash, you can either add them or swap out the carrots. Just make sure you cut it into smaller pieces.
• Feel free to add any kind of potatoes. Since we had regular baking potatoes in the pantry, I used them. Yukon gold or small red potatoes would also be delicious.
• As for the soup, I used some gluten-free cream of chicken soup I found at Walmart. Other soups that would be good are cream of mushroom or cream of celery. I added a little bit of milk to thin it out a tad.
• Season it with whatever flavor you want. I used Italian seasoning. For a little more heat, substitute either taco seasoning or chili powder. Of course, since this is called ranch chicken, you’ll need to add a packet of ranch dressing mix.

Directions

Making Crock Pot ranch chicken is almost too easy. Since I was cooking for two, I used one of my smaller slow cookers. However, if you’re cooking for four or more, use the medium-size one. You’ll also need to double the recipe. I like to make cleanup easy, so I always spray the bottom of the Crock Pot with cooking spray. Add the chicken and carrots.

Next, cut up the potatoes and put them in the pot.

Finally, mix the soup with the milk and Italian seasoning. Pour the mixture over the chicken, carrots, and potatoes.

Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix over the top. Put the lid on it and cook it until it’s done. Please see the recipe card at the bottom of this page to get the times.

That’s it! You’ve made a delicious meal! Enjoy your delicious ranch chicken dinner!
