Description

This Slow Cooker Creamy Ranch Chicken and Potatoes is the ultimate cozy comfort meal. Tender chicken breasts, buttery baby potatoes, zesty ranch, and a rich, cheesy cream sauce all cook together in one pot for an easy, family-friendly dinner. Minimal prep, big flavor, and a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs result every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 ounce)
  • 1 cup cream of chicken soup (canned)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the halved baby potatoes in an even layer in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper, then arrange them on top of the potatoes.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the ranch seasoning mix, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth until smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the ranch mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes in the slow cooker, making sure everything is mostly covered.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and very tender and the potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Using tongs, carefully remove the chicken and potatoes to a plate or shallow dish and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
  7. Stir the sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese into the sauce left in the slow cooker until melted, smooth, and creamy.
  8. Return the chicken and potatoes to the slow cooker, gently tossing or spooning the creamy ranch sauce over the top to coat everything well.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
  10. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley just before serving and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, reduce the chicken broth slightly or let the sauce sit on WARM with the lid off for 10–15 minutes to thicken.
  • Use full-fat sour cream and cheddar for the creamiest result; low-fat versions may make the sauce thinner or grainy.
  • If your slow cooker runs hot, start checking for doneness on the earlier side of the cook time range to avoid overcooking the chicken.
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
