How to Make Crockpot Ranch Chicken and Potatoes

Ingredients

• 3 pounds baby red potatoes, scrubbed and cut in half
• 2 cups baby carrots, optional
• 4 to 5 boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 (10.5 ounce) cans cream on chicken soup
• 1 (1 ounce) package dry ranch seasoning mix
• 1 tablespoon dried minced onions
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt, to taste
• 4 tablespoons butter, cut into pats

Instructions

• Prepare a slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
• In the bottom of the slow cooker, place the potatoes and carrots. Over the carrots, place the chicken breast.

• In a medium bowl, stir together the soup, ranch seasoning, minced onions, black pepper, paprika, and salt. Pour the mixture over the chicken.

• Top the mixture with the pats of butter.

• Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or until the chicken can be shredded and the potatoes are tender.

• With two forks, shred the chicken.

• Stir the ingredients together.

• Serve over rice, noodles, or biscuits.

How to Know When Chicken Is Done

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. You want it to read 165 degrees. 

You can also tell when chicken is done as the juices will just clear. 

Can I make this into a freezer meal

For a freezer meal, place all of the ingredients into a gallon-sized freezer bag and freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw in the refrigerator prior to cooking according to the directions.

Can I Use Chicken Thighs

Feel free to reach for chicken thighs over breasts. Just follow the directions. You might find the thighs could cook a bit faster than a breast would so keep an eye on the internal temperature, you also want thighs to reach 165 degrees internally. 

Can You Add Other Vegetables Into The  Recipe

Absolutely, you can add in whatever are your favorite vegetables. If using fresh add them in the same time you would the potatoes and carrots. If you are using frozen vegetables, you can add those in the last hour of cooking.

What to Serve With

• Dinner rolls or even bread 
• A delicious green salad like this Strawberry Fields Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
• Cucumber and onions or other cool summer foods

Get creative and try out different sides to pair with chicken. Or skip the sides and just eat meat and potatoes.
