- Can I use ranch dressing instead of ranch seasoning mix? Yes! If you do, just leave the milk out and use 1 cup of ready-made ranch with the can of soup.

Just made this tonight. Only used 2 breasts, sliced fresh carrots and those small red potatoes, you don’t have to peel or cut, perfect!! Delicious!

New Hubby favorite and he is picky! Added extra sauce ingredients and a little chicken broth. Love your recipe’s. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for following along! I love hearing things like this!
Perfect meal for family of 2.
Since it’s just me and I’m not a fan of leftovers, has anyone tried this with just 2 chicken breast and halved the veggies but left the soup mixture the same?
That should work great! Just half the recipe 🙂
Wow… wonderful recipe… I made this but had to do few changes because I didn’t have the needed can of Cream of Chicken or the Powdered Ranch Dressing…. But I did have a can of Chicken Gravy and a bottle of Ranch Dressing…. So I used them… It was awesome normally my roommate doesn’t care for chicken breast made in the slow cooker because it tends to dry out to much… NOT THIS TIME… he wanted more but I had cut the recipe in half since there was just the two of use… next time I will make the full recipe for him…. Alyssa you can see a pic of the meal on my Face Book page if your interested in seeing it.
Well I thought I had some powdered Ranch Dressing packets and cream of Chicken Soup… however it seems that the closest I have to these Items is a bottle of actual Ranch Dressing and a Box of Chicken Gravy …. Alyssa can these items be substituted for what is actual used in your recipe?? I know it is a lot to ask but could you please email back your reply?
After reading all the comments about the vegetables, only suggestion I have is ad sliced carrots and cube the potatoes smaller. Thaw the chicken if frozen or double cook time.
