Today's chicken recipe is simple and delicious. You literally just toss everything in the crock pot, cover and let it do it's magic.
I initially saw this recipe on Holly's blog, but she used pork chops. Since my freezer was full of chicken breasts I adapted the recipe just a bit. One of my goals for the New Year is to use my crock pot more regularly.
I'm not sure why I don't, because it's such a huge time saver. Not to mention slow cooked food is so much more flavorful and tender.
This Ranch House Chicken turned out perfect and tender! The combination of the chicken soup and the ranch dressing were fabulous.
I also added a tad of sour cream which gave the sauce a nice tang. I highly recommend this chicken dish, so file it away in your recipe box, because you will be making it more than just once.

This recipe only requires two steps. Just toss everything in and cover. Cook on low for 5-6 hours. Serve chicken and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice or pasta.

This looks delicious with chicken! I could just dive right into your photos, Tina. Yum.
I make this same recipe except use cream cheese instead of sour cream! It's a family favorite!
I think this will be on the menu this week. Looks yummy.
what if you do not have sour cream?
You can just leave the sour cream out if you don't have it on hand. It add's a nice tang to the sauce, but still great without it.
If you were to start with frozen chicken, how long should you cook it for? Looks super yummy!
If i dont have ranch seasoning can i use ranch dressing(the stuff in the bottle that you put on salads) instead
We had this tonight! Its a keeper!!!
@Karen, this article can help answer that question? for you. I had to look it up, beccause I don't usually add frozen chicken to the crock pot. http://www.ehow.com/facts_5477300_can-put-frozen-chicken-crockpot.html
@Natasha, I have never tried it with bottled ranch dressing. If you try it keep in mind the results may be way different.
Oh my goodness that looks fantastic! I'm wanting to have a plateful now..and it's still breakfast time! =) Thanks for sharing and inspiring me to use my crockpot more too.
Looks yummy. I was wondering if you can post the recipe for the pork chops since I am always looking for new ways to cook them . Thanks!
This looks so yummy can't wait to try it .
Tina-
Is this 6 FULL Chicken Breasts or 6 Chicken Breast Halves?
@Lynne, It's (6) full chicken breasts. I used chicken tenderloins this particular time.
@Shauna, if you click on the links at the end of the post (adapted from) life as a lofthouse or picky palate it will take you to the pork chop recipe.
I love crock pot recipes. Looking forward to making this.
Yum Tina! I have this in the crock right now. I decided to throw some frozen pearl onions on the bottom first and i'm gonna throw in a cup of frozen peas the last hour. I simply can't wait to eat! I'll let you know how it was.
You never disappoint Tina. This was so delicious! Comfort food for sure. :-)
Thanks!
@Lynne,
Yay I'm so glad you liked it. I will keep the onions and peas in mind for next time. Don't just love how easy this recipe is. Another great crock pot hit.
The picture looks yummy and healthy, I better try this healthy recipe that you've shared with us. I am tired of eating too much pork, it makes me feel weak. I want to go lite.
This was amazing! I added 2 tbsp of Bacon bits, it was to die for!! Thanks Tina :)
That sounds way too easy and looks amazing. Love simple dinners. Thanks :)
I just did a similar recipe in my crockpot using boneless pork chops and minus the sour cream. It is freezer friendly before cooking. Just thaw and drop in the crock pot. Easy Peasy!
I use pork chops as well but add potatoes to the bottom of the crock pot, add a layer of fresh cabbage and then the meat. Mix all sauce ingrediants together and add to crock pot. Cook as directed here. Wonderfull meal.
We have been sick in our house (all 7 of us) for 18 days, but whose counting:( In this time I have just discovered your blog, which I am really enjoying. I made this recipe one night because I had everything on hand and it looked like something I had the energy to make. We loved it. It was a warm and good meal for a bunch of sick people. Tonight we are trying another recipe. Thanks so much. I am always looking for something new to try:)
Thank you for this recipe! This was sooooo good! I made it with fat free cream of chicken soup and light sour cream (to cut a few calories) and it was SO good. My son, who is so picky, said, "Mama this is the best meal you've ever made!" We will definitely repeat this meal often!
Just made this today it was SOOO easy and good. Your blog is inspiring me to be a better cook
I have a newer crockpot and it seems to cook chicken faster. Typically on low it is done in about 4 hours. Does anyone else have this same issue?
The recipe calls for 1 packet of ranch seasoning mix.The packets range from .4 oz to 1.4 oz.Could you make a recommendation on what size to use please?
I have never seen a Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix packet in a .4 oz size. The only ones I have found in the store are 1 oz packets. I looked online and only see 1 oz as well.
Tina I made this again... this time with homemade cream of chicken soup (found a recipe online) and homemade dry ranch dressing (again found recipe online)..
I LOVE this meal and its soooooo easier to make, I literally just had to have chicken on hand.
Its just me and my daughter so making this with 6 chicken breasts might make a bit too much. Is it possible to make only 3? Any suggestions would be great, thanks. It looks delicious!!
Do you think I would be able to use cream of mushroom instead of chicken? I have it in the pantry and only one cream of chicken, doh!
I found a .4 oz right next to the 1.0 oz today at Walmart and had to scroll the comments to see which to buy! Lol
It states in the recipe that it is a 1 oz package of ranch dressing mix.
Do you add 2 10ounce condensed soup or do you add water per soup instructions before adding to crock pot. Thanks.
You just add the cream of chicken soup and not the water.
Hi Tina. I would like to cut this recipe in half because 6 breasts is too much for my husband and I. Should I still add the 2 cans of soup or would it be fine with 1? Thnaks!
Do you think this recipe would work with chicken thighs or chicken legs/wings-with the skin on?
Is that gravy on the chicken or the sauce from cooking in soup and ranch?
It's the sauce/gravy from cooking the chicken in the crock pot.
