Slow Cooker BBQ Ranch Chicken Potato Bake


  • Author: clarawhitmore

Description

This one’s a triple win: BBQ flavor, creamy ranch goodness, and slow cooker ease—all baked into a hearty, family-friendly casserole. Tender shredded chicken simmers with ranch seasoning and BBQ sauce, then gets layered over soft, seasoned potatoes and topped with melty cheese. It’s comfort food that works just as well for a weeknight dinner as it does for meal prep.


Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

½ cup BBQ sauce (low-sugar if preferred)

2 tbsp ranch seasoning (packet or homemade)

4 medium potatoes, diced

1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar

½ cup plain Greek yogurt or light sour cream (optional for creaminess)

Salt & pepper to taste

Chopped green onions or parsley for topping


Instructions

Spray slow cooker with nonstick spray. Add chicken, BBQ sauce, ranch seasoning, and a dash of salt and pepper.

Layer diced potatoes over the top. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is cooked and potatoes are tender.

Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir everything to combine.

Top with shredded cheese and let it melt for 5–10 minutes with the lid on.

Spoon into bowls and top with green onions or parsley. Add a dollop of yogurt or sour cream if desired.
