This easy Crock Pot Ranch Chicken recipe for keto and low carb has just four ingredients.
It’s super delicious and of course good for keto and low carb. I often make it for Sunday Dinner.
And thank you, my darling DIL, Lani, for sharing this yummy recipe with the family.
Crock Pot Ranch Chicken is an excellent candidate for a ‘dump’ type dish. With just four ingredients it almost makes itself.
As you can see from the picture above, all you have to do is place the chicken in the bottom of the pot, then add the butter and cream cheese. Lastly, sprinkle the ranch dressing over the top and cover with the lid.
Now just walk away. Don’t cha’ just love it? 🙂
Did I mention you can use frozen chicken breasts? Just add up to an hour to the cooking time.
I always cut into the breasts to make certain they are no longer pink inside and that the juices are running clear before I shred them.
I’m about to have this for lunch. I got up this morning and placed all the ingredients in the Crock Pot before I got going on my day.
Now the aroma is filling the house and I have a steamed cauliflower head waiting to be grated into ‘faux rice’ or ‘cauli-rice’. I call it ‘Magic Cauliflower’ and you can find my recipe here.
I love this low carb trick and use it a lot. But of course you can serve it on a bed of regular rice or noodles too. 🙂 Enjoy! — Laura
A few ‘Chicken Tips’
Maybe I should have a category for ‘Chicken Recipe of the Week’ here on the my blog. You already know I’ve been making a lot of chicken recipes. I find it to be so versatile and thrifty.
- Chicken fits the bill (literally) for low carbers and other diets as well. It’s thrifty.
- When boneless, skinless chicken breasts go on sale, I buy extra and freeze them.
- If the chicken is fresh, never frozen, I will chop some of it into chunks, some into tenders and leave some whole and then freeze them.
- Once in a while I’m super organized and put together a few ‘dump’ recipes in freezer gallon bags and stack them neatly in my fridge freezer for later use.
