Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Sauce
- 10.5 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup (1 can)
- 1 ounce ranch dressing mix (1 packet)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (½ stick, cut into cubes)
Optional Serving
- 3 cups cooked white rice
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Spray the inside of a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ease cleanup. Place the chicken breasts evenly inside the slow cooker.
- Mix Sauce Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup and ranch dressing mix until well combined to form a creamy sauce base.
- Assemble for Cooking: Pour the soup and ranch mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Scatter the cubes of unsalted butter over the top to add richness and flavor during cooking.
- Cook the Chicken: Cover and close the slow cooker. Set it to cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the crockpot and serve it hot alongside cooked white rice, if desired, to soak up the flavorful sauce.
Notes
- You can substitute boneless skinless chicken thighs if preferred; adjust cooking time as needed.
- For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 15–20 minutes of cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
- This recipe is gluten-free if using gluten-free ranch seasoning and condensed soup.
