Crock Pot Ranch Chicken is a family pleasing meal with just a few simple ingredients, ready to serve over pasta.
This Crock Pot Ranch Chicken reminds me a lot of my Mom’s Chicken Divan. That was one of my favorite meals as a kid. The Crock-Pot is always my friend now that I’m a Mom myself. I need an arsenal of recipes I can make when I don’t feel like cooking. This is one of them. My kids like this ranch-flavored chicken served over pasta. I think it would be delicious as a topping for baked potatoes too. Be sure to check out some of my other recent family favorites for the slow cooker as well…

How to Make Crock Pot Ranch Chicken
This is a true ‘fix it and forget it’ recipe. Simply whisk together the onion soup, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Then stir in the Ranch seasoning until it is evenly combined. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker insert. Spread the Ranch mixture evenly over the chicken. Sprinkle it with fresh parsley. Cook on HIGH power for about 4 hours or on LOW power for about 6 hours, or until the chicken shreds easily. I always check the temperature too. The chicken should register well above 165 degrees F if it is cooked and easily falling apart.
Kitchen Tips
- I use a 6-quart Crock-Pot to test all of my slow cooker recipes
- Serve the chicken and Ranch sauce over cooked pasta
- Or use the Ranch Chicken as a topping for baked potatoes, with a side of roasted broccoli
- Digital Meat Thermometer for chicken the temperature of the cooked chicken

Can the chicken go in the crockpot frozen or does it need to be thawed?
foodtasticmom says
You can put it in frozen but the sauce will likely be a little more watery at the end. Just be sure to take the temperature before eating. Chicken is safe to eat once it reaches 165 degrees F or above. Enjoy!
