Have you dusted off your slow cookers yet? Or do you use it year round like I do? I absolutely love my slow cooker. And this meal was slow cooked to perfection. Creamy and delicious and so tender that the chicken falls apart. This is my kind of meal!
Life is just busy. There is so much going on but it is so important for our family to sit down and eat together. Of course we have our macaroni and cheese and Little Ceasar’s nights, but I like to eat together each night. It took me 5 minutes to throw this meal in . So easy! It is ready right in time for dinner and it is a meal that the family will love. Tender chicken, potatoes, and carrots in a creamy ranch sauce. It will seem like you slaved in the kitchen all day for this delicious meal!

We were surprised by family. and I placed all the ingredients in the slow cooker and we were off for the day. Came back and finished up with salad, crusty roll and southern green beans. Everyone loved it and requested your recipe! Again, thanks for an easy pantry ready meal.
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.

I meant a hit in my household
Great job! Sounds fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing! XOXO
Hi! Hi! First time I made this exactly like your recipe, however i did need a li’l more cook time. Me slow cooker is OLD, like me, so SLOWER THAN MOST! This time, I tried it with few changes. BUT, w/o your recipe as starting stone, I’d has been lost. I LOVE ME SLOW COOKER. Instead of Cream of Chicken, I also used Cream of Celery. And since I love gravy AND cheese, I used a can of Cheddar Cheese Soup also along with the Cream of Celery, 2 pkts of ranch and 1/2 cup milk. I also added some whole baby onions (Like I said, Stepping Stone). I cooked for 6 hours on LOW, it came out PERFECT for us. There was still some chew to the carrots and potatoes, and the onions DID NOT DISINTEGRATE. But everything was COOKED, the vegetables just weren’t MUSH.
I’m also going to try this sauce mixture with me Spinach & Feta stuffed Rolled Pork Loin in the Slow Cooker. I normally just use chicken & beef stock 3 – 1
Made this with a few changes. I had cream of celery soup so used it instead of cream of chicken. i didn’t have the packaged ranch dressing so used bottled ranch. After reading the previous comments, I doubled the sauce/gravy and put the veggies with half in the slow cooker for 2 hours on high. I unthawed the chicken breasts and cooked them for a minute in the microwave before adding them with the rest of the sauce/gravy after the 2 hours and cooked on low for 3 more hours. It was bubbling hot and everything was done. It tasted good but I really didn’t taste the ranch at all. Had lots of veggies and gravy left over and made a meatloaf to go with it the second night.
I agree with those who say the cooking time is wrong.
Made this for hubby and I tonight. Used 2 skinned chicken legs and 2 boneless chicken breasts, added some mushrooms and peas near the end and doubled the sauce. It was delicious. Hubby LOVED it and told me to make it again and again. It is a keeper.
as i live in australia where can i get ranch dressing in powder form
If you have it, it will be next to the bottled salad dressings. 🙂

Will never make this again. Should have read the comments first. Chicken took longer to cook then usual and the potatoes and carrots were rock hard, still are and they’ve been In there 6+ hours. I have a brand new crockpot and have never had this problem with other recipes. Was so disappointed, family couldn’t even eat it. Waste of time and money.
This is one of our favorites. I am so sorry it didn’t turn out for you. I had no problems with the veggies cooking tender a long with the chicken. If veggies are taking longer than 6+ hours to cook it may be your crockpot.
Very good dinner . chicken was very tender and veggies also done perfect. I did cook it on high for 1st hour because of other reviews about being under cooked, but came out just fine done in about 5 hours on low with the first hour being on high.. My only complaint is that I couldn’t taste the ranch flavor , next time i will add maybe another half packet or use 2 packets’ I was hoping for a strong ranch flavor
can I use another dry packet besides ranch? My fiancé is not too fOns of ranch, but I would love to try and make this dish
You could try Italian seasoning! I am sure that would taste great too!
I made this yesterday for dinner and it was really yummy, but I did change a few things based on reviews. First off, I did double the sauce. I put the veggies in the crock pot (will definitely add more carrots next time) and poured half of the doubled sauce over the veggies and cooked on high for 1.5 hours (will do 2 hours next time) then stirred it all up, topped with the chicken and the rest of the sauce and cooked on low for about seven hours. I was worried it would taste too “ranchy”, but it was perfect. Lots of tasty sauce to mop up with hot rolls. Mmmmm 🙂 Even with the extra steps this was still a very easy, delicious recipe that I will be making again! Thanks for sharing!
