Our Ranch Chicken Recipe has the most delicious homemade ranch sauce and is topped with fresh tomatoes and bacon. It’s easy enough for a weekday family dinner and special enough to serve your favorite guests. Chicken thighs cook on high in the slow cooker for about 2 1/2 hours in a savory broth, and come out very tender. Then, just add cream cheese and a few fresh herbs to make a ranch sauce that’s bursting with flavor – this is the BEST ranch chicken recipe you’ll ever taste! Serve over noodles, rice or your favorite salad.
Ranch Chicken Recipe Ingredients
2 1/2 to 3 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
1/2 cup chicken broth
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh dill, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 oz cream cheese (1 package), softened
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons scallions, diced
1/2 cup tomatoes, chopped
5 pieces of cooked bacon, chopped or crumbled
Ranch Chicken Recipe Directions
Place the chicken thighs in the bottom of the slow cooker. Combine the chicken broth, minced garlic, dill, salt and pepper in a measuring cup or mixing bowl. Pour over the chicken in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is done (reaches 170 degrees).
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker. Add the softened cream cheese to the remaining cooking liquid and whisk to combine. To make a thicker sauce for our creamy ranch chicken, I transferred my sauce to a saucepan and heated over medium heat, reducing the mixture. Stir to prevent the cream mixture from burning. Then add the chopped parsley and diced scallions, stirring to combine.
How To Serve Our Ranch Chicken Recipe
We like to serve our creamy ranch chicken recipe over noodles, you can also serve it over rice, potatoes or salad, or with your favorite vegetables. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Top with tomatoes and bacon. Finish by sprinkling with more herbs if you like.
