Name: Creamy Ranch Chicken Crock Pot (Easy Slow Cooker Comfort Dinner)
Ingredients: 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs; 1 packet ranch seasoning mix; 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup; 1 cup heavy cream or milk; 4 oz cream cheese, softened; 2 tablespoons butter; ½ teaspoon black pepper; Optional garnish: chopped parsley or chives

Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 cup heavy cream or milk
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon black pepper

Optional garnish: chopped parsley or chives

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crock Pot

Lightly spray the crock pot with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

Step 2: Add the Chicken

Place the chicken in an even layer in the bottom of the crock pot. Sprinkle ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce

In a bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, heavy cream (or milk), softened cream cheese, butter, and black pepper until mostly smooth. Pour the mixture over the chicken.

Step 4: Slow Cook

Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Stir the sauce until smooth. Shred the chicken if desired or serve whole. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

Notes

Chicken thighs stay extra juicy, but breasts work well too.
Cream cheese melts smoother if softened first.
Sauce thickens as it cools—stir before serving.

Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to keep heat consistent.
