Slow Cooker Creamy Ranch Chicken and Vegetables

One of my favorite easy slow cooker recipes is this Slow Cooker Creamy Ranch Chicken and Vegetables. It’s a dump and go dinner with chicken breasts, red potatoes, and baby carrots all cooking together in a creamy ranch sauce.

It takes about 10 minutes to get everything in the slow cooker, and the whole meal is done when you’re ready to eat. The meat, potatoes, and veggies all cook in one pot, so there are no extra side dishes to make.

Why This Recipe Works

• A complete meal in one pot. Chicken, potatoes, and carrots cook together, so dinner is done all at once.
• Only 6 ingredients. Mostly pantry staples and full packages, so nothing is left over in the fridge.
• The ranch packet does the seasoning. No measuring a bunch of spices.

Ingredient Notes:

• Boneless skinless chicken breasts: I used about 1.5 pounds.
• Baby carrots: One 16 oz bag. No peeling or chopping needed. Yah!
• Red potatoes: Washed and diced, no need to peel. Red potatoes hold their shape in the slow cooker.
• Cream of chicken soup: I used two 10.5 oz cans.
• Chicken broth: Just a little to thin out the sauce.
• Dry ranch seasoning mix: One 1 oz packet. Hidden Valley or any brand works.

How to Make Slow Cooker Creamy Ranch Chicken and Vegetables

Step 1: Add chicken, potatoes and baby carrots to your slow cooker.

Step 2: Make the sauce. In a bowl, stir together the cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and ranch seasoning. Pour it over the chicken and vegetables.

Step 3: Cook. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F and the vegetables are tender.

Stir and serve. Give the sauce a stir and spoon it over the chicken and vegetables when serving.

Storage and Reheating

• Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• Reheat: Warm in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium-low heat. Add a splash of chicken broth if the sauce has thickened.
• Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw overnight in the fridge. The potatoes will be a little softer after freezing.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Putting the chicken on the bottom. The vegetables need to sit closest to the heat to cook through.
• Cooking too long. Chicken breasts dry out if they cook well past done. Check them at the low end of the cook time.
• Lifting the lid. Every peek lets heat escape and adds cook time. Leave it closed until it’s time to check.
• Cutting the potatoes too big. Large chunks may still be firm when the chicken is done.
