Slow Cooker Ranch Chicken is an easy and delicious comfort meal that only takes five minutes to prep. Make this in the morning and let it simmer away all day, making your house, smell divine, and have a super easy dinner ready for you once 5 o’clock rolls around.

If you’re not making slow cookers at least once a week, what are you doing? Okay, that might be a little harsh, but I seriously love my slow cooker so much. If you’re busy, but want to make delicious meals at home, pull out your slow cooker and your favorite recipes and get cooking!

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!
