- 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 T. Melted butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 c. chicken broth (low-sodium)

It’s no wonder that I love this Crock Pot Ranch Chicken – I love chicken and I love ranch seasoning so I paired the two together in this recipe. This chicken is very flavorful and you can even skip the sauce if you would like to keep it lighter – the chicken will still be moist!
- Place chicken breasts in the crock pot.
- Pour 1/2 c. of chicken broth over chicken.
- Sprinkle 1 package of Hidden Valley Ranch salad dressing mix over the chicken.
- Drizzle 1 T. melted butter and minced garlic over the chicken and sprinkle paprika over top.
- Cover and crock on Low for 4 hours.
- Slice mushrooms.
- After 4 hours, heat mushrooms, cream cheese, remaining 1/2 c. chicken broth, 1 tsp. of paprika and 1 tsp. of Mrs. Dash in a small bowl in the microwave for 2 minutes or until melted. (stir every 30 seconds and add a little more broth or water if too thick)
- To serve, place chicken on plate and pour sauce on top. (Optional: serve over rice or noodles.)

When do you add the garlic?
Thanks Patty, I have adjusted the recipe so you know when to add the garlic! Guess I just got typing too fast and forgot to put it in! Happy Crocking!
Hello! I’m very new to crock pot world, so I’m sorry if this is a dumb question. Haha. Do you cook the chicken first or do you just throw it in frozen or straight out of the fridge uncooked? Thank you thank you!!
Bianca you cook the chicken raw, or frozen! Some recipes call for frozen chicken, others call for raw chicken! Sometimes a recipe may ask you to brown the meat, but you don’t usually cook the meat in advance… good question, and thanks for asking! Happy Crocking!
