Love these simple slow-cooker dinners 🙌
Here’s a classic version of that idea — crispy-coated chicken that turns tender and flavorful with just a few pantry ingredients.
🍗 Slow Cooker Creamy Ranch Chicken (5 Ingredients Total)
🛒 Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup sour cream
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Dredge the Chicken
Lightly coat both sides of the chicken in flour. Shake off excess.
(Optional but recommended)
Quickly brown the floured chicken in a skillet with a little oil for 2–3 minutes per side for extra flavor.
2️⃣ Into the Slow Cooker
Place chicken in the slow cooker.
In a bowl, mix:
- Ranch seasoning
- Cream of chicken soup
- Sour cream
Pour over the chicken.
3️⃣ Cook
- Low: 6–7 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
Chicken should be tender and easy to shred.
🍽 Serve Over
- Mashed potatoes
- Rice
- Egg noodles
- Or alongside roasted vegetables
🔥 Easy Variations
- Add sliced mushrooms before cooking.
- Stir in shredded cheddar at the end.
- Swap sour cream for Greek yogurt for extra protein.
- Add a splash of chicken broth if you want it thinner.
If you’d like, I can give you:
- A lighter version
- A gravy-style version
- Or a 4-ingredient tomato-based slow cooker chicken 😊
