Making the crockpot ranch chicken recipe
- First, in a small bowl mix together the cream of chicken and the ranch seasoning mix.
- Now, spread a little bit across the bottom of the crockpot. Remove the chicken from the package and pat dry if needed.
- Next, add the chicken into the crockpot then add the remaining amount of the cream of chicken mix on the tops and side. No need to add broth or water. Once the chicken starts to cook the juices will release.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is it better to cook crockpot chicken on HIGH or LOW?
I have not noticed a difference after many crockpot recipes using chicken. Depends on the time you need because some crockpot recipes can be cooked overnight. I think chicken breast are best cooked on high if you are short on time and the chicken always comes out tender and juicy with the right amount of moisture is used. A quick note, chicken isn’t a meat you want to cook overnight like a beef roast.
Can I use thighs or legs instead of breast?
Yes, and the time should be similar to my bbq chicken thighs recipe which took a few hours as well. Plus, you can avoid overcooking your chicken because there is more fat in the legs and thighs.
