This is a toss it in the slow cooker and forget it for a few hours dish. Perfect for the days where you’re running from one activity or errand to another.
No major chopping involved, and if you use the pre peeled garlic cloves no need for a knife at all.
Slow Cooker Garlic Ranch Chicken
Ingredients
- 4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 10 ounce can cream of chicken soup low sodium and/or low fat work fine
- 3 cloves, garlic peeled, and lightly smashed

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking Directions
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a 4 to 6 quart slow cooker.
- In a small bowl mix together the cream of chicken soup, garlic cloves, ranch dressing mix, and black pepper.
- Pour over chicken breasts.
- Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-4 or until chicken is tender and has reached 165 degrees.

I am looking properly through your blog for the first time, and it doesn’t help that I am hungry – everything looks SO good!! Off to go cook something now…! Looking forward to your Autumn recipes by the way!
Thanks Ceri. I made the cake we discussed yesterday and oh my goodness it turned out fabulous.
Micha this sounds awesome (like everything else on your blog, LOL)! I am so trying it, Sundays are ridiculously busy and this’ll be great for that.
This looks great! Pinned it
Just stopping by to let you know this will be one of the features tomorrow at All my Bloggy Friends. I can’t wait to see what you link up tomorrow! Enjoy your day
Another great Pin find! Can you make this with thighs as well? My husband is not much of a white meat lover!
I don’t see why not. The cook times might be different so I would keep an eye on it the first time you made it.
Yup, this is a low and slow cook, using thighs would be just fine, in fact it’ll be juicier since bones marinate from the inside. . . (Thanks for linking my ranch recipe!)
You are welcome. I first tried it a couple of years ago and haven’t looked back. It tastes so much better than the prepackaged mix and is ridiculously inexpensive.
Yeah! I found a meal to try next week! I am pinning this straight away!
I love seeing new ways to do a familiar dish. I came over from LadyBehindtheCurtain link up, I’m excited to see more of your creations.
Seen your recipe over in the Recipe Showcase on the Secret Recipe Club FB group, and had to check it out. I adore Ranch Dressing and cant wait to try this. Thanks for sharing.
Yay! I love a new slow cooker recipe. Makes cooking for the fam SO easy. I’ve loved looking through your blog! I wanted to invite you to share over at my link party too!

I have tried a similar recipe but I like that you have garlic in yours. Going to give that a try! Thanks
Stopping by after seeing your yummy link at Lady Behind the Curtain’s Link Party. Thanks for the great slow cooker recipe. I just pinned it, I’ll be making this soon! Thank you!
Do you add any water to the soup?
Nope. There should be enough condensation from the steam while cooking for the right consistency.
