Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 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
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 make cleanup easier. Arrange the boneless, skinless chicken breasts evenly inside the slow cooker.
- Mix the Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of chicken soup and ranch dressing mix until smooth and well combined, creating a flavorful, creamy sauce.
- Add Sauce and Butter: Pour the soup and ranch mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Scatter the cubes of unsalted butter on top to add richness and help form a luscious sauce as it melts during cooking.
- Cook the Chicken: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the chicken on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. This slow heat will meld the flavors and keep the chicken juicy.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the creamy ranch chicken over cooked white rice to absorb the delicious sauce and complete the meal.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh chicken breasts that are evenly sized for even cooking.
- You can substitute cooked brown rice or quinoa for a healthier grain option.
- Feel free to add vegetables like broccoli or green beans to the slow cooker during the last hour of cooking for added nutrition.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
