When you are doing kitchen renovations and your oven is buried somewhere under the mess of the rubble, your crock pot is your new best friend. I always say this, but they are the best invention EVER.

We need to use our crock pot more. This looks like a great recipe to get back on the crock pot train!
Do I have to stir this throughout the day or just let it simmer
Just let it simmer! Thank you!
You never open a slowcooker while cooking
Oh, Karen.
Can you use pork chops for this recipe ?
Yes I don’t see why not
Can u cube the chicken instead of putting the whole breasts in the pot??
I;m making your recipe today but I am not sure how long to cook!
Your directions say: Cover crock pot and cook on HIGH heat for about hours OR on LOW heat for 8.
How long would I cook on high?
thanks!
OMG thanks for catching that!! It’s been corrected!
Do just eat it like that or add pasta or rice?
I ate it as is but I have served it over rice before!
I have. Question when mixing in the soup do I still mix in the can of water with the soup or just the soup?
Just the soup! Thanks for asking!
Can you substitute cream for the milk?
Yes, you can absolutely do that.
Potatoes are my weakness – these look so good and give me the perfect excuse to use my crock pot more often!
How easy can dinner be? I love chicken and dumplings, but have never tried a ranch dish, only the dip! Looks like comfort food for cold winter days!
I love when parents get kids involved in cooking. Slow cookers are a perfect idea for beginner cooks. This recipe is perfection and I can see my whole family gobbling it super quick.
Hi. I have a question. Can you use regular ranch dressing from a bottle instead of dry package?
I wouldn’t because then dressing would add a lot of liquid to the recipe. You only want the seasoning (packet) for flavor. Sorry!
Hi, I see butter in the ingredients but I don’t see them in the instructions. Where does the butter go?
Nevermind I see it!
I had to use the bottle Because I did not have the packet however I did not add any milk turned out fabulous!!
Can you make this in an instant pot? If so, what adjustments are needed?
So good. Really enjoyed it.
How would 2% milk work? Would that still be ok?
Yes that should work just fine! It just won’t be as thick.
Do I use fresh whole milk?
Yes that would work just fine.
Delicious! It was so good! Thank you! Now, have any of you saved any left overs before? Just wondering… I was wanting to take some to work tomorrow, if the leftover would be fine.
We love leftovers of this meal.
Awesome! Thanks!
What about heavy cream?
Sweet Jesus… did you think she would recommend you use old expired whole milk?
?????
🤔🤣🤣🤣I was thinking the same. That would not have gotten a reply from me! Lmao
You lost me at ranch
Helpful
I don’t care for ranch, but this recipe was delicious!
I dont like ranch either so I used spicy fiesta ranch mix and it was awesome!
Trying this tomorrow! Sounds delicious.
Would zucchinis work if I cut them in the same size/shape as baby carrots? Just unsure how that would cook in a Crock-Pot.
I feel like they might get really mushy but you could always put them in toward the end?
Hi I tried this recipe last night! It was absolutely delicious! I used zucchini in mines along with cauliflower and the zucchini did get a little mushy but it was still delicious!
MINE!! M?I?N?E! Not mines!?
Stfu Braaaaadd
Could I sear the potato chunks in a little bit of oil with some of the ranch dressing just long enough for them to crispy edges, then throw in the crock pot? I have a weakness for crunchy things!
Sure. Or just cook them completely separate and add them in when serving 🙂
Can I do this in my Instapot to speed things along then finish low and slow? If so, what times would you recommend?
You can but I don’t own one and wouldn’t be sure of the time! Sorry!!
Do you cook the chicken first?
No don’t cook it first.
Can I use bone in chicken thighs?
Yes that should be fine!
Can I use almond milk in place of whole milk.
I don’t see why not!
Just made this ! Can’t wait to see what it’s like tomorrow ! Making overnight ???? thank you for the recipe . I modified a bit and thought I’d share . I didn’t have a ranch packet . So I cut up red and white potaotes into cubes . Next added celery and carrots Leftover from a bbq. . Next added 4 large boneless and skinless chicken breast . Next in a bowl whisked together two 10 oz cans cream of shroom , ( all I had ), 5 gloves garlic minced , fresh home grown parsley , dill , basil , chives ( chopped finely ) , also added paprika , pepper , garlic powder & cumin . Whisked all that until it was a nice sauce . Poured over the chicken . Topped with butter . Am cooking 7 hours overnight on low ! Hopefully it’s good ! Thanks again ????
Well Asha, how did it turn out?
So you made a whole new recipe…
Exactly!
Sounds great…. Is there any way to do this in an instant pot? How would you convert crock pot recipies?
I’m not sure as I don’t have an Instant pot! Sorry!
I’m doing it right now in my IP. I subbed the 1/2c of milk for 1c of water and I’m going to cook on manual for 12 minutes with a natural release. I’ll let you know!
How’d it turn out?
I just made this in my instant pot. Made as directed except I held out the milk until the end. I used frozen chicken, and also added 1 cup of chicken broth. Cooked on chicken/meat setting for 30 minutes, with quick release. I let it cool down for about 15 minutes, then added 1/2 cup of milk, mixed with 2 Tbsp. Of cornstarch to help the sauce thicken. This is a must if you use the instant pot because not a lot of moisture will be released like it would in the crock pot. It turned out very well. I probably could have omitted the chicken broth since the frozen chicken gives off a lot of juice. But I was afraid to, since you can’t keep an eye on it, and we dont mind it saucy as we eat it with biscuits. Hope this helps. 🙂
I’m in the process of making and it has about 30 minutes left and seems pretty watery to me. I followed the recipe pretty exact so I’m wondering if it thickens once the heat is turned down? Thanks!
Just add flour & whisk it will turn it more into a gravy consistency.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts — about how much is that in weight?
(Two local grocery stores, I don’t know where they get their chickens, but one sells 8-10oz breasts and the other 10-14!)
well of course it will depend on the actual chicken breasts. sometime you get small cutlets that are roughly .5-.75lb. I usually go to the counter and get the big ones that are roughly a pound ( to 1.25) each. A typical package (nowaday, what we used to think of as a pound) is more like 2.25lbs.
Anyway I do agree I wish recipes were given with more precise measurements. MY guess is about 2-2.5lbs – or – at least that is what will fit in my crockpot comfortably, and most recipes do. I wish I could answer with the quart size of my crockpot to further help with the ratio. But I do not know it, it’s a standard old one, before all these deluxe and mini sizes came out. Whatever that is.
Wonderful meal!! I am always in need of a new delicious crockpot meal! (Working mom of 3) my family LOVED this! Going in our favorites file.
Can I use frozen chicken breasts?
Yes, just increase the cooking time.
If the chicken is frozen, would I still add the potatoes at the beginning?
How long do you increase the cooking time?
Do you add water to the can of cream of chicken or just the can of cream of chicken!
Don’t add the water to it
Ah ha. That was my problem last time. I’ll try again without the water added. Thanks!
I think I added a little too much milk, so didn’t come out as “creamy” (my mistake) i added cauliflower and onion to mine along with the carrots and potatoes. Can’t wait to try it!
The kids loves it, the husband loves it too. Yay! It’s a new favorite here!
Thank you for the recipe
Just finished putting all in my crockpot for 4 hours on high! Subbed half almond milk and half skim for whole (because we don’t drink it). Would have gone almond all the way if I had read your comment. Also, tossed in about 7 oz of chopped (in chunks) bella mushrooms. Only did so as not to waste them before going bad. Hate when that happens! Really looking forward to dinner tonight! May even through in some broccoli just before serving and ditch serving over rice. Gotta get those veggies in as much as I can. Haha! It’s a great day here in Chicago to use the crockpot! Cool weather and rain!! Thanks for the great recipe!!!
Hey from Mississippi, wondering about part of the South this recipe originated ?? Listed as Southern Crusine?? Trying this recipe today since it’s cooling off and a busy day for me…yep, lower 90’s weather is considered cooler…lol I am adding minced garlic, celery, white pearl onions,rosemary, sage and thyme. Also, thinking if I fix this recipe… again putting another twist by omitting the potatoes, rough chopping the carrots and adding mushrooms ….adding cooked wild rice at the end of the cooking time.
I have a thing for potato dishes and this makes me hungry. BIG TIME!! So yummy.
Just the kind of busy day meal we needed.
My kids love this,
So easy with so much flavor
So hearty and delicious!
Happy to have another good slow cooker recipe as the weather begins to get chilly!
This looks perfect for dinner any night of the week!
I just got a multi cooker, this is the perfect recipe to try! S
This is a keeper for cooler evenings! Very delicious.
I made this last night. Instead of packages of ranch i put in 2 it was good but we like the ranch flavor so next time i think i will add 1 or 2 more packages. But we loved it.

What a great weeknight dinner! Such awesome comfort food!
sounds so good, I don’ have a crock pot so wondering if it would be good cooked in a roaster on top of the stove?
I tried this last week, way to much liquid, and the chicken flavor over powered the ranch. So I gave it another shot, because it still had good bones.
I use 1 can of cream of celery, the flavors work yummy with the chicken and ranch. No milk
Cream of celery in addition to cream of chicken?
Can this be made without a crock pot? I don’t have one and the recipe looks so yummy.
Made this today! Put ingredients in Crock-Pot and it was the perfect meal when we came home from church! My husband and I loved it!
Can someone tell me what I did wrong?? I made this today and there’s no liquid!! So strange. I cut up potatoes, added baby carrots, put in the chicken then in a separate bowl I whisked the canned chicken soup (I couldn’t find a 23 oz can so I used 26 oz), ranch packet, 1/2 c of whole milk. It seems like that’s not enough liquid and it certainly wasn’t. I think I missed something… please help! The pic looks delicious!
Did you ever get an answer. I am fixing now and that is exactly what i am getting. Should i add something to give it more liquid?
how do you think this would do with pork chops rather than chicken?
Would this freeze well after it has been made?
Yes it does freeze well.
Surely going to try it.
Unbelievable. So delicious and so easy to make. It’s perfect as is. I added some peas primarily for color. Thank you for sharing. : )
Cream of celery in addition to cream of chicken?
Can we sub cauliflower for the potatoes? Im On a low carb journey.
Yes you can do that I’m sure!
Making this now. Sounds yummy !!. Used Hidden Valley Spicy Ranch mix. The Spicy Ranch is also great mixed with sour cream as a veggie dip. Simply amazing with green pepper slices
Love, love, love this super easy, great tasting recipe. Thanks for sharing. The only thing I changed was added celery because I didn’t quite have enough carrots. Still came out delicious. I even thought that next time substituting wide egg noodles for the potatoes. I always add my chicken while frozen so it doesn’t overcook before I get home from work. Will be making this again soon.
Can you use a 5 pound whole chicken instead of breast?
Loved this! Because I kept seeing were there it was
“liquid-y” I made 2 changes. I added another can of creamy chicken soup (10 oz), and another packet of dry ranch mix. My family loved it. So I’ll definitely make again.
Does anyone par cook the potatoes first? I made a veggie soup from a recipe and the potatoes were still hard. Thoughts?
Cooked on high for 5 hours and still my potatoes are hard. Not all but more than desired. What did I do wrong?
Followed recipe exactly and my was not surrounded by all that liquid. It tasted fantastic! But not enough liquid? Wonder what went wrong?
Making this right now and currently has about 4 more hours of cook time. I opted for the LOW cook setting. I added a smaller can of cream of chicken in addition to the larger can. I also added two packets of ranch mix for extra flavor. My house smells amazing! I’m sure this will be delish.
Can i put non cooked fresh green beans in here? All we have is coconut milk but since it’s on the watery side i will be going to the store to get something else.
Red potatoes okay?
Yes that is just fine!
This recipe turned out great! The only thing I changed was that I sizzled some bacon and chopped it all up into the crockpot mix. Bacon ranch, It was divine !
Do we season the chicken a little bit at all??
I’m trying this now! I added half an onion.
I’m trying this now! I added half an onion.
Edit, 9 hrs later, my family loved this!
Ashley, thank you so much for this recipe. I made my own cream of Chechen soup from repurposed matzo soup broth..Add bottled creamy Caesar dressing along with milk and threw some mushrooms on the top with the better I wasn’t sure how the moisture was going to be even if the mushrooms cooked down they will add a little moisture to the mix. Thank you so much again for this easy and helpful dinner recipe I’m always looking for new ideas because I hate to cook

I wondered about mushrooms. I have 1 can cream of chicken and 1 cream of mushroom…lol guess we shall try it seeing as how I already got everything cut and mixed besides that lol
I’m trying this now! I added half an onion.
Edit, 9 hrs later, my family loved this!
Absolutely delicious ! great recipe!
Hi, I have my heart set on making this recipe as it looks and sounds so delicious but I live in New Zealand and I’m not too sure that we have can condensed cream of chicken soup (we have dry chicken soup mix) or packet dry ranch dressing mix – are there perhaps different names for these items or substitutes you could recommend?? Many thanks, Natalie
I know you can make it homemade if you look on google! It’s super easy! Hope that helps 🙂
Trying this recipe for the first time today. Using hidden valley bacon/ranch dip mix and added some hatch chilis for some heat. Will be interesting to see how it turns out.
Hi, I’m not a fan of potato skins – okay to peel first?
Yes you can peel them!
Thank you for this recipe Ashley!! I made this tonight and it was terrific!! So easy to make!!! Will definitely make it again.
I am thrilled that I found this recipe, Ashley! I have made it several times and love that it offers tons of possibilities for variations, but is always perfect just as you have it listed. I am actually making it today following your recipe & adding about 6 slices of cooked bacon on the top. Can’t wait for dinner time!!
Was wondering if you cut the chicken up first, if that would decrease the cooking time?
I’m sure it would. Be careful not to overcook it!
Hi! I tried this tonight and was wondering what you’d suggest if using frozen chicken breasts? The sauce turned out really runny and everything was pretty tasteless and bland, so I’m thinking the excess water from the frozen chickens likely botched this. Any suggestions? Thanks 🙂

I have 2 3.5 Qt slow cookers. Think I can still do it?
Any responses on why its coming out watery?
If I were to cut this recipe in half, how would that effect the cook time?
I would reduce it maybe an hour or so?
WOW! These are the best!! Even the neighbours were impressed! I will definately be making these again and again. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe 😀
Any way to thicken up the sauce? After its cooking looks thin.
Wow, so classic! I have just pinned with intending to cook this next week. Thank you for your recipe!
Made this yesterday, it turned out great! I added an onion and some corn and peas. Everyone loved it. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Can I add cream cheese? I would love to add if it will turn out good.
SOOOOOO good! I served over white rice. Thanks Ashley!
So glad you liked it! Thank you!
What spices can I use to replace ranch mix?
Made a double batch of this, doubled the recipe and used two crackpots. It was plenty thick, but possibly because I used 1/2 cup heavy cream instead of whole milk, and added 1/2 cup fat free milk, to thin it. My husband and neighbors loved it! I think next time I will add more spices and veggies, like minced garlic and parsley, also onions, broccoli and possibly mushrooms. Definitely needs something else to add flavor. I personally did not taste ranch whatsoever.
Love the ideas you have!
This was so good! I made it today and my husband and eat almost all of it our self’s. I did add onion and celery to the veggies mix and some garlic powder and onion powder and do the thyme. Thank you for posting.
I’m not good at cooking but it’s easy enough to cook for dinner. I made it 2 times last week it was good
Ever tried this with broccoli
Made this today. Cooked on high for 5 hours. Chicken was done, as were the carrots, but the potatoes could have been cooked a little longer. Must say, it didn’t have much flavor until I added more ranch mix and salt and pepper. After that, it was fine. There was plenty of sauce.
I made this last night and it came out so soo yummy and I used sweet potato’s instead of regular and OMG YUM YUMM!!????????????????????
I’m so happy to hear this!!
So I see I had the same issue as some others. 23oz can whisked together with 1/2c of whole milk and dry ranch. But for some reason mine is watery rather than creamy. Taste is still good and it will surely get eaten. Just wish I knew why I lossed the creamy oart
Hello.
I would like to double this recipe. Do I use twice the amount of ingredients?
Yes. Double everything for doubling the recipe.
This recipe was super easy and delish. I think I added more chicken and veggies so I should have put a second ranch packet, but the flavor was really amazing.
Hi! I am currently making this as we speak, about 1.5 hours in on high. First time ever using a crock pot actually… hehe. Do I ever stir or mix the ingredients? Or just leave as is? Thanks!
Stir them a few times.
This is a good note to add to the instructions
Is there a way to do this instant pot style?? I really want to make this. Just wondering if there’s a way. I ran out of time to do this crockpot style
I wish I could help you but I don’t own an instant pot! Sorry!
Overall, this was good, however it tasted like it was lacking salt. Additionally, the vegetables never got as soft as I think they should have. Perhaps adding water and salt to the bottom layer of veggies would have been a good idea.
I was wondering if adding cream cheese would be good…..
For anyone that uses an instant pot, could this recipe be converted and if so what should the times be
Turned out to be fantastic. I added s/p and 3 stalks celery. Super easy recipe.
Can the chicken be frozen? Or must I thaw it out?
It can definitely be frozen. May just have to add on to the cooking time (or not depending on how quickly your crock pot cooks).
I’m new at crockpot cooking! Am I supposed to stir this in between?
I don’t stir it! Best to not let heat out.
You just left a previous comment saying stir a few times.
What is the butter for?
It is there for flavor.
Made it tonight. Delicious, everyone had seconds. Thanks for sharing.
If I were to add frozen broccoli should it cook the entire 5ish hours?
No I think it would get too mushy. Just add it toward the end.
Can I use cream of celery soup instead of cream of chicken?
Yes that would work fine!
Can I use evaporated milk instead?
I tried this recipe today and it turned out great! I did use chicken tenders (equivalent to four chicken breasts), just my preference.
The cream of chicken needs to be added to the ingredient list.
Nvm, I’m just blind. You csn delete my posts lol
My family really liked this recipe. I only added mushrooms to the dish for the whole family. The day leftovers, after i added a bit of sour cream and garlic powder and a few dashes of hot sauce and omg! ???? delish!!
Don’t have a crock pot so I can I cook on stove pot?
Yes but I am not sure as far as timing and temperature. Sorry!
Getting ready to make this a 2nd time and it was fantastic! Couldn’t believe how yummy and easy it was. Nice comfort food for a snowing evening!
I have made this twice. The second time I used 2 packets of the dry Ranch mix. However, both times it was runny – not creamy. I noticed a few posts asking how to make it less runny, but if there was a response, I missed it.
What do you do to thicken the sauce? Mine turns out like soup…
How long would you recommend cooking in the InstaPot?
Ashley, WOW! so simple, yet SO tasty! This is fantastic, yum. Thanks for the recipe.
I was looking for a Crock-Pot recipe idea with ingredients I had on hand. No car today…I had regular carrots instead of baby carrots and I used veg oil to grease my Crock-Pot since I am out of spray. Unfortunately I did not have any cream soups in the cupboard so what I did was make a roux sauce and mixed the ranch in that. I seasoned my chicken too. Thank you for the recipe, I am always searching for fresh ideas and this one is so versatile which also makes it special?
Can I use chicken that has the bone and skin?
Yes, I don’t see why not.
They look great! From color to taste, I can feel it. Thank you for sharing the formula. I will try doing it right this weekend. Thanks again!
Can I use red potatoes instead?
Yes, any potatoes will work!
Hello and thank you for this recipe,it was delicious and my daughter and hubby really enjoyed. I had to improvise because I didn’t read correctly that it said large can of cream of chicken so I used the 10 oz added more milk and chicken broth. Threw in some already cut green bell peppers and onions and let it cook on low. Had it with rice and corn and yummy to the tummy!
Fortunately, I found your recipe yesterday. It was really great. However, I changed potatoes into pumpkins (because I don’t like potatoes very much) and fortunately the food was above expectations.
Will definitely do it the next time
This was delicious comfort food, though a bit on the bland side. Next time I will add onion powder, garlic powder, crushed dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
For those asking how to thicken the sauce, you can add instant potato flakes while sauce is hot and stir well. Works for me with many soup and stew recipes.
Great post and helpful comments, Thanks!
I like to see post about how to use crock pot, I have collected recipes that can cook by crock pot and yours is great, this looks yum and creamy. Thanks a lot.
Can I use boneless skinless chicken thighs for this? With same cooking times?
Yes that’s totally fine sharlene!
Hey Ashley, I look forward to cooking this recipe soon. My question is what would you recommend to go along with the Creamy Ranch Chicken And Potatoes?
Can I use can carrots if I don’t have baby carrots.
Yes, of course! Peel them first.
There’s lots of good nutrients and vitamins in an unpeeled carrot. Just make sure you wash it real good.
I’m making my own Ranch, how much do I use in this recipe?
I live in Australia please what is ranch dressing, can I use something else. I made this without and used celery soup but it seemed to be missing something, suggestions most welcome
I love to cook. I’m always looking for new recipes for my menu, which makes me always interested in my work.Today’s my lucky day, Crock Pot Creamy Ranch Chicken and Potatoes is great, just follow the instructions and everything is easy, I like that. Thanks for your sharing
I want to make this tomorrow. Looked for nutritional value, but could not find any. On a new eating habit, diet, and are trying to put the numbers together . Maybe I will have to break down the items separately. Please get back to me on this. Still looks like a good recipe, maybe would add a bag of mixed frozen veggies to it. Thank you.
How can I make this in the oven? I love this recipe but my crock pot recently broke and I haven’t had the time to get another one?
I flipping love this recipe, especially while pregnant, it’s all I want! (It’s currently cooking in my kitchen as I type!) I add a bunch of cauliflower and fewer potatoes and put in more milk and water if I’m serving it with rice. Thanks for sharing this!!
Can I half this recipe in a crock pot? Will it be full enough? It looks great but just too much food as I live alone. I was thinking of cooking half now and putting the other half in a freezer bag as a freezer crock pot meal for later. I am just worried it wouldn’t be full enough or cook the same. Thoughts?
Can I use cream of mushroom instead?
Yes that would be fine!
I made this last night and it was very good. I followed the recipe exactly and i served it over white rice. There is nothing I would change about it.
Crock Pot Creamy Ranch Chicken and Potatoes is great! To be honest, I’m not good at cooking but I like them, they give me joy and excitement every time I finish the dishes, which is a great thing. With your recipe, I just need to follow the instructions and the rest is simple. Thanks for your recipe.
I only have a 4 quart slower cooker, would all this still fit in it or should I half the recipe?
I think that may be too small!
There’s lots of good nutrients and vitamins in an unpeeled carrot. Just make sure you wash it real good.
testy recipe foe me
i love this
Do you think this would work with pork chops in place of the chicken?
I tried cooking this on high for 4 1/2 hours and none of it was cooked all the way. Next time will try it on low I guess.
I made this for supper. It wasn’t as good as I expected. Maybe if I try it again, adding a second ranch packet would add more flavor. The carrots took over the flavor to me.
Best recipe EVER!!!
The Crock Pot Creamy Ranch Chicken and Potatoes recipe are great! It’s my family’s favorite food, it’s great to be able to prepare it at home for everyone to enjoy. Thanks for your detailed instructions, just follow the instructions and everything is easy. Best regards!
Can you omit the potatoes and add rice to the crock pot instead? Would this change the cooking time?
This was fantastic I actually made it in my instant pot and it turned out so good. Thank you.
Just made this for dinner and the house smells amazing! I cooked it on HIGH, however I cooked it for an extra hour bcuz my potatoes were still hard. I also added a second ranch packet. Awesome recipe, thank you!
Just wanted to stop by and thank you for this delicious recipe. I stirred in some frozen peas near the end and poured the whole concoction over a split biscuit. It was basically a deconstructed chicken pot pie and it was delicious!
Did everyone just eat it as is or with something else with it? Like biscuit, cornbread or rice or anything.
Thought it might end up a little bland so added a tablesppon of minced garlic and half of an onion, chopped. Even after that it was still pretty bland so added some garlic powder and a teaspoon and a half of both taragon and oregano. Finally poured about 2 tablespoons of pepperoncini juice. After that it was pretty decent.
i made this recipe and it was REALLY GOOD. My family was VERY HAPPY. I told my friend about this recipe and she tried it. Her family really love it also. Will make again, again, and again.
Can I add fresh green beans too?
Yes that would be awesome!
What if I use already sliced chicken breast strips? Should I add the chicken in later and still cook the potatoes and carrots like normal?
I made it last night and added green beans. Sooo Delicious! My family liked it!
Thank you for sharing!
This looks Delicious. I think I’ll make it next week. Thank you for sharing!
I made this for dinner last night. I’ve never had a more tender, moist, flavorful chicken in my life!!!!! Thank you!
This was SO delicious! My family loved it! I had to adjust a little as i did not have the ranch seasoning mix nor all the ingredients for her mix, but i used what i had and it was awesome! My husband said, ” this one is a keeper! You need to make this more often”. Thanks for sharing your fabulous recipe! Incidentally, I served this over egg noodles which was a great combination. 🙂
Hi! Is this soupy or gravy-like? I’d rather have it be thicker and can adjust for that but checking first
Thank you!!
I made this, and it was delicious! I added Kroger pizza cheese during the last 10 minutes because we are hopelessly addicted to cheese! This is a keeper recipe thank you for sharing it!
I have made this several times and only change I make is 2 packets of ranch. I make rice for a side and part of the family eat it over rice and others just as a stew.
Made this last night and it was perfect! My kids devoured it.
I loved this recipe! It was so quick and simple and turned out so delicious. As a busy college student, I love easy recipes like this. The chicken was so tender and I loved that I had some leftovers. Thank you so much for sharing this Ashley! I will definitely be making this again.
This was a great recipe! Followed recipe except for using heavy cream instead of milk. My son and husband loved this and there were no leftovers! Will make again and I think I will add broccoli during the last 30 min. I really appreciate adding this recipe to rotation as it was incredibly easy!
Wow, it looks so tasty . I love your recipe very much. I think your dish is very delicious. I will make this recipe for my family and my friend. I hope you have more recipe like this. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, Ashley! I am a fan of your Crockpot Chicken Alfredo, so I’m excited to try this dish as well. Nothing beats ranch flavor in my book. Plus, you can’t go wrong with the Crockpot! 🙂
Can I put broccoli in it too?
Yes – i don’t see why not!
Hi! I’ve made your recipe about four times now..it’s my go-to crockpot meal!! I was just wondering if there’s a way I can make it in a pressure cooker? I’m new to that method so I haven’t been able to convert the recipe myself lol. Thank you!
I’m sure there is, but I’ve never done it! Sorry!
Can I use soy Milk? I just realized I don’t have enough milk in the fridge and don’t feel like going back to the grocery 😩
Yea you can!
Do you by chance have the nutritional information on this I have made it multiple times and I love it!!
Greate to see this recipes…looks cremy but yes it’s Good in Bowl taste
Wow! This looks so hearty and flavorful! Love that it’s ranch flavored – one of my favorites!
Can I use boneless thighs instead of chicken Breasts
I just made it with thighs the other night. I think it was even better with thighs than with chicken breasts.
I am normally not a fan of cooking my carrots and potatoes with my meat. This recipe is different. They are so amazingly good. One note: for leftovers, the potatoes seem to soak up the sauce. Storing them seperately from the meat and carrots seems to work better flavor-wise.
Omg, crock pot creamy ranch chicken and potatoes is so delicious! I made it for dinner last night and only had a few carbs left to spare. I was able to avoid my usual carb binge at the end of the night and feel great about it.
Hey Ashley,
I have definitely found the right addition to my cooking menu. I can’t wait to serve this Creamy Ranch Chicken and Potatoes to my dinner guests. What do you think I can add to make it extra spicy?
Dear you really made and described the recipe so nicely that really helped me lots. I am eagerly waiting for more of such delicious recipes in future too.
Looks delicious!
I made this meal tonight and it was soooooooo good!!! I followed the recipe exactly and it was turned out perfect!! It was so easy and very few ingredients! I put mine with a side of yellow rice. I’ll be looking for more or your recipes!! Thank you for sharing!
I wanted to serv something cosy for a weeknight dinner and began to search. When I came across this recipe for creamy ranch chicken, I knew have found my comfort dish.
Could I use a roaster oven for this recipe? If so what temperature would it need to be set at and how long would it need to cook in the roaster?
Thanks!
