Slow Cooker Ranch Chicken & Gravy

Chef Jenn
If you need a no-stress dinner that’s comforting and craveable, this one’s for you. I love Slow Cooker Ranch Chicken & Gravy. It’s  a one-pot wonder; just toss everything in, let the slow cooker do its thing. Soon, you’ll have tender shredded chicken in a savory ranch gravy ready to spoon over mashed potatoes. It’s always a hit in my house, and I’m guessing it will be in yours too.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup
  • 1 ounce ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup chicken broth or even just use water.

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  • Sprinkle the ranch seasoning over the top of the chicken. No need to mix it in yet—it’ll blend beautifully as it cooks.
  • Add the cream of chicken soup right on top, then pour in the chicken broth or water. I prefer broth for extra depth, but water works just fine in a pinch.
  • Cover and slow cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, depending on your schedule. You’re looking for chicken that’s fork-tender and easy to shred.
  • Shred the chicken using two forks or a hand mixer right in the pot. If you’ve never used a hand mixer to shred chicken, it makes fast work of it with zero effort.
  • Stir everything together so the chicken gets coated in that creamy, ranch-packed gravy.
  • Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles. I mean it when I say mashed potatoes are the move here.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Boneless and skinless chicken breasts cook the fastest, but you could use chicken thighs or even bone-in breasts.
  • This dish can be a bit salty. To combat that, use low sodium soup, and low sodium or no-salt-added chicken broth.
  • You can easily double this recipe for meal prepping. Just ensure there’s enough room in your slow cooker.
