Many years ago my neighbor brought my family a version of this Creamy Ranch Chicken dish when I had been sick with a bad flu. I fell in love with it and so did my family. It’s now become a staple on our dinner recipe calendar and my kids couldn’t be happier.
The crock pot version of this Creamy Ranch Chicken just makes the chicken melt in your mouth. I love to serve this over rice or mashed potatoes with a big spoonful of the creamy sauce on top! Sooooo delicious!!

I always love a new Crock Pot recipe, so I can’t wait to try this one! Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday!

You can use frozen chicken. I use frozen chicken quite a bit in my crock pot and it always turns out great!
Thanks for stopping by!
Do you have to cook it longer than 6 hours if you use frozen chicken? Thanks!
Trying this tonight! Thanks, smells yummy already!

Made this tonight and added a can or rotel for a little kick! Turned out very good!!! And super easy!
Can you use cream of chicken and cream of mushroom?
I always do one can cream of chicken and one can cream of mushroom and I purée them together in my bullet so my picky eater hubby can’t see the mushrooms. And sometimes I use cream cheese and sometimes sour cream. If I don’t have season salt I use Montreal steak seasoning. We LOVE this recipe at our house!

I tried this in the crockpot and it didn’t cook all the way through and I have a wierd paranoia about chicken. Is there a way I can cook this in the oven using precooked chicken thats frozen? Thanks! Im a new chef here.
This was amazing thank you for sharing and east to make
*easy
Of I want to cook it on high, about how long would it take?
I can’t wait to try this Chicken recipe. It sounds delish!
How do you prepare the potatoes when you serve this dish over them? Mashed, baked, etc….what is your preferred potato for this dish?
Delicious, I used Crm of Chicken and Crm of Mushroom. How many servings should this make? Trying to acct for nutrition, calories, etc. Thanks
I just set crock pot with your recipe. This will be our all time favourite chicken recipe ! Thank you for sharing.
I made this for dinner tonight, my family LOVED it! It was so easy to make too. I served it with a green salad. Thank you for the recipe.
I used frozen chicken and it came out perfect. I served it over rice.
Can you use the ranch dip mix instead of the dressing mix?
Can I cook on high? I’ve got it in crock pop on high now just wondering should I put it on low??
Do I have to add a can of water to the cream of chicken?
I made this last night and it was very good. I added some chicken broth at the end to thin the sauce a little & used spicy ranch dressing mix. I cooked it all day. Great recipe!
I LOVE this recipe, one of my favorites! Have made it several times.
But- I’m single and it makes a lot….Can it be frozen?
I’ve never tried freezing this, but I would think that this recipe would freeze well. I’d just make sure it is in a sealed container or bag and then when you want to eat it I would just warm it up on the stove in a pot over low-medium heat. You should try it and see how it goes…I’m curious to know. So glad you like this…it’s one of our favorites too!
Can Greek Yogurt be subbed for sour cream?
I’m sure Greek yogurt would be an ok substitute! I know Insubstitute out the sour cream for Greek yogurt in lots of my recipes all the time! Let us know how it turns out 🙂
Just as a follow up- YES, I have tried freezing it, and it tastes just as good. 🙂
Love this – it’s the crock pot meal I make the most! I layer baby red potatoes in the bottom and the rest on top, cook it up, serve with a veggie, and sit back and bask in the compliments!
Heaven! I made this and my hubby and twin boys loved it. I madr some white rice and broccoli as our side. Thanx for sharing
I made this last night. My husband said it’s delicious but the only request is that I add more meat. I mixed everything in a bowl, then put it in the crock pot. I also used 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts (partly frozen) and had it on low for 6 hours. Turned out great! I’m wondering if I can double the meat (add 12 thighs) and not double the liquid or will I have to double the liquid too?m my son wants me to make it again.
Hi Kara,
Glad you liked them. You definitely could add more meat, but I wouldn’t double the liquid if you’re wanting more meat because then it’d still be the same ratio of meat to sauce. Let us know how it turns out with more meat 🙂
Can i use ranch dressing vs dry ranch dressing mix and also how much?
Thanks
Love this recipe! So does my picky fiance! I used cream of chicken and cream of mushroom, also put some mushrooms in it. Served it on egg noodles. One of my faves!
Can you add any veggies like peas or broccoli?
Has anyone tried this in an Instant Pot? What would be the settings/conversions or would I just need to do the pot inside a pot method?
I found this recipe on Pinterest while looking for dinner ideas. Can I just say that this was so yummy????? I used one can of cream of chicken and one can of cream of mushroom. I also just poured hidden valley ranch dressing into the crock pot since I didn’t have one of the packets. We paired it with plain rice and it was a huge hit, even with the picky eaters. I’m adding this into my meal plan rotations and can’t wait to try more of these super yummy recipes!
I have been making this for my family regularly for about 5 years now and they all LOVE it! Thank you so much for this family favorite! 😀 😀 😀
