Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Vegetables:
- 4 Russet potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 cups baby carrots
Seasoning and Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 packet dry ranch dressing mix
- 1 can (10 ounces / 284 grams) cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) milk
Instructions
- Craft a velvety sauce by whisking cream of chicken soup, milk, and ranch seasoning in a compact bowl until uniformly blended.
- Arrange raw chicken breasts, diced potatoes, and petite carrots inside the slow cooker, creating an even layer.
- Delicately cascade the prepared ranch-infused liquid across the protein and vegetables, ensuring complete coverage.
- Secure the crockpot lid and initiate cooking process: maintain low temperature for 6-7 hours or high temperature for 3-4 hours until chicken reaches internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables transform into tender morsels.
- For more manageable protein portions, utilize two forks to gently deconstruct chicken into succulent shreds, then reincorporate into the aromatic sauce, distributing flavors throughout the dish.
Notes
- Check chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption using a meat thermometer.
- Use low-sodium cream of chicken soup and ranch mix to control salt intake for health-conscious individuals.
- Swap chicken breasts with boneless, skinless chicken thighs for more tender and flavorful meat that doesn’t dry out easily.
- For gluten-free version, replace cream of chicken soup with homemade cream sauce using cornstarch and gluten-free broth.
