Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 6 medium Russet potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 cups baby carrots
Protein
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Seasonings and Sauces
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 large can (23 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 packet (1 ounce) dry ranch dressing mix
- 1/2 cup milk
Optional Garnish
- Fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the crock pot and vegetables: Spray a large 7-quart crock pot with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Place the cut potatoes and baby carrots evenly at the bottom of the crock pot as the base layer.
- Add the chicken: Lay the boneless skinless chicken breasts over the vegetables. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Make the creamy ranch sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup, dry ranch dressing mix, and milk until smooth and well combined.
- Combine and cook: Pour the creamy ranch sauce evenly over the chicken breasts and vegetables in the crock pot. Cover with the lid securely.
- Slow cook: Cook on high heat for 5 to 6 hours or on low heat for 8 to 9 hours. It’s important not to remove the lid during cooking to retain moisture and ensure even cooking.
- Finish and serve: Once cooked, top each serving with fresh chopped parsley if desired for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy your creamy ranch chicken meal.
Notes
- Make sure not to remove the lid during cooking to maintain moisture and proper cooking temperature.
- You can substitute Russet potatoes with Yukon Gold or red potatoes if preferred.
- For thicker sauce, you can add a little more condensed soup or reduce the milk slightly.
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper after cooking if needed.
- This recipe is perfect for prepping ahead and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
