Ingredients for Slow Cooker Ranch Chicken
You only need a few ingredients to make this recipe. I have seven listed here, but water doesn’t really count, so this is a six-ingredient recipe! The ranch seasoning mix adds so much flavor and it’s so easy to just toss in with the rest of the ingredients. Do not use prepared or bottled ranch dressing– it will turn out gross. Period! Look for dry seasoning mixes at the grocery store.
- Chicken breast
- Bell pepper
- Cream of chicken soup
- One packet of ranch seasoning mix
- Water
- Parmesan cheese
- Cream cheese
How to Make Slow Cooker Ranch Chicken
This recipe is really so simple to make. It’s one of my go-to’s when I want something delicious but don’t want to put any effort in at all. All you have to do is add the chicken, chopped red bell pepper, cream of chicken soup, ranch seasoning mix, and water to the slow cooker and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours. Once your timer has gone off, shred the chicken with two forks or a hand mixer. Using a hand mixer is a fast way to shred your chicken. Once I learned about this hack, I never looked back at my two little forks, haha!
Once the chicken is shredded, add in the Parmesan and the cream cheese and stir that all up until it is combined. Try to stir it well enough so that there are no lumps in the cream cheese. If there are a few little lumps, it’s OK. Put the lid back on your slow cooker and heat everything on low for another 20 minutes.
Serve this chicken over egg, noodles, rice, cauliflower, rice, or any other carb that you can think of. You can also just eat it plain too!
