Use the slow cooker to make creamy ranch chicken with only a few ingredients for an easy, flavor-packed meal that’s ready when you are.
Jump to RecipeMost of the time, I try not to use processed ingredients. But sometimes, convenience wins out. I have my recipe for cream of chicken soup but just did not have time to make it when I was working on this slow cooker meal.
I like using the slow cooker because I substitute teach at the boys elementary school a lot. It’s a great way to prep a meal before going in, and have it ready when we get home. Especially on nights we have Cub Scouts after school, I need something quick.
Since this only takes at most 5 hours, it isn’t one I can do with a full working day. But when I pick up those afternoon-only sub jobs, it’s perfect. I can have dinner mostly done, and just have to cook up the noodles when I get home.
Step by Step
Ingredients
- 10 oz cream of chicken soup
- 2 tbsp ranch powder
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 lb chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 8 oz egg noodles
Preparation
Mix the cream of chicken soup with the ranch powder and Italian seasoning in the slow cooker.
Place the chicken on top of the mixture.
Top with the cream cheese.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours. Shred the chicken and return it to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
When ready to serve, prepare the egg noodles according to the package. Serve the shredded chicken with creamy sauce over the egg noodles.
Leftovers
You’ll want to keep the creamy ranch chicken in a separate leftover container from the pasta noodles. The sauce will make the noodles mushy if they are in the same container for too long. Put them both in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat by putting both the chicken and the pasta in a saucepan and heat over medium for about 5-10 minutes, until warmed through.
