I make this Slow Cooker Green Chili Ranch Chicken with Potatoes & Carrots when I need a filling meal that cooks together in one pot. The sauce is creamy, the chicken is tender, and the potatoes and vegetables cooked perfectly alongside it. I usually begin this meal earlier in day and let the slow cooker do most of the work. It is a delicious dinner I count on when the week gets busy.

Very tasty! My veggies weren’t cooked enough but that could be how my slow cooker heats. I think next time I will cook the carrots and potatoes alone for maybe an hour, then add the chicken and sauce and cook 5 hours. Otherwise delicious! Might use hot green chiles for extra heat as hubby loves spicy.
BTW the time is off on previous post Lol..Its actually 2:50 am just to clarify since I said I’ll be cooking this tonight 😉
I will be trying this tonight..LOVE EVERY recipe I have tried on here and I used to struggle with cooking until I found Julia ! I LOVE they are so affordable too! Literally these recipes have changed my life and given me a boost of confidence when cooking for my grown kids and husband! my question is ..could this recipe be cooked on high for less time? Im disabled and have a complicated schedule..thanks for the help 🙂
Excellent! We had this for Sunday dinner.
What sides would you recommend if any to go with this meal?
Just had it and love it! A tip – If like myself you have the regular cream of mushroom/ not roasted garlic flavor she used – add some finely chopped garlic or about a TBS of the pre-chopped garlic (I used fresh) in with soup mixture. It worked out great!
minor changes: Added 1/3 of an onion chopped in with the potatoes. I needed to use it up anyway, but it really enhanced the flavor; not at all overwhelming – the kids ate it up! Also – I’ve seen this recipe with 1/2 a block of cream cheese added and I bet that would be yummy as well if you want a creamier sauce.
I will definitely be making this again!
I always seem to be asking the same question. sorry, but can you freeze this please?
Got this is the slow cooker now! My husband loves green chilies so i hope he likes this
