My ranch chicken for the Crock-Pot reminds me a lot of my Mom’s Chicken Divan. It was one of my favorite meals as a kid. But a crock pot recipe like this is 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 whole family likes this ranch-flavored chicken served over pasta. It’s an easy and delicious recipe.

Ingredients for slow cooker ranch chicken

• Chicken – I prefer boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. If you want, you could substitute skinless thighs.
• Ranch Seasoning Mix – Be sure to use the one-ounce ranch packet (like Hidden Valley Ranch), and not the DIPS mix. Or if you have a great recipe for homemade ranch mix, use two tablespoons to equal one ounce.
• Cream Soup – One can is all you need. I chose to use cream of onion soup for testing purposes. Feel free to use your favorite variety, like cream of chicken soup.
• Mayonnaise – Adds extra creaminess to the sauce.
• Lemon Juice – Helps to brighten the rich flavors of the creamy ranch sauce.
• Parsley – I always add a fresh herb for color and flavor to recipes like this.

Instructions for this easy recipe

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 setting for about 4 hours or on LOW setting for about 6 hours, or until the chicken shreds easily. I always check the temperature too. The internal temperature of the chicken should register well above the safe temperature of 165 degrees F.

Serving suggestions

My kids and I really like this saucy chicken and creamy sauce over pasta. But you could serve it over mashed potatoes, brown rice or buttered egg noodles. Here’s some more of my recipes for a delicious meal idea –

• Easy Buttered Spaghetti
• Perfect Oven Roasted Potatoes
• Air Fryer Broccoli
• Easy Glazed Carrots
• Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

Storage directions

Store any leftover chicken and creamy ranch sauce in an airtight container. It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Or in the freezer for up to one month.

Kitchen tools

• I use a 6-quart Crock-Pot to test all of my slow cooker recipes
• Digital Meat Thermometer for checking the temperature of the cooked chicken
