There’s something steady about coming home to a Slow Cooker Crack Chicken that has been simmering since the morning. With the slow cooker crack chicken, the 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts and 1 packet ranch dressing mix slow into a tender, no-fuss dinner.
The recipe is simple to follow, allowing you to set it and forget it while the slow cooker does the work. Serve it on buns, over rice, or with your favorite sides for a satisfying meal.

I like to set this Slow Cooker Crack Chicken going before I leave and come back to the whole kitchen smelling of 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts and 1 packet ranch dressing mix. It tastes even better once it has sat for a few minutes off the heat.
