Craving a sub but can’t afford the carbs? Try this easy to make and high protein Slow Cooker Bacon Cheddar Ranch Chicken! This meal prep friendly recipe is packed with all your favorite flavors and takes just a few minutes to make.
All you’re going to need for this recipe is a slow cooker! If you don’t have one, here’s a link to the one I’ve been using and recommend.
Start by taking out 4 pounds of chicken breast, trimming the fat off of them, and cutting each piece into quarters. Keep in mind that the bigger your pieces are, the longer they’ll take to cook.
Add those chicken pieces right into your slow cooker with 21.5 ounces of 98% fat free cream of chicken (2 cans), 14 tablespoons of fat free sour cream, 10.75 ounces of condensed soup cheddar cheese (1 can), 1 packet of a ranch salad dressing mix, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, 1/2 chopped up yellow onion, 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, and 1 pack of bacon bits.
Mix all of those slow cooker bacon cheddar ranch chicken ingredients together until everything is well incorporated.
Put your cover on, turn your slow cooker on low heat, and let it cook for around 6-8 hours.

Love your recipes.. especially the slow cooker. Keep them coming 🙂
Thank you Denise! I will do my best!
Geez! I did NOT know something so savory could be so healthy. I doubled the mushrooms(cuz I love em) and it turned out absolutely fantastic. Your channel, recently found, has made me regret the years I spent believing taste had to be sacrificed for good macro profiles.
Hey Daniel! Thank you! I need to make this one again now…
Derek,
Instead of the sour cream, do you think I can substitute it for plain greek yogurt?
Thank you!
Can’t wait to make this!
Love your slow cooker chilli and thought I’d give this a shot. But I can’t seem to find Condensed Soup Cheddar Cheese in Australia! What would you recommend as an alternative?
I used ground chicken instead of breasts cause it’s much cheaper where I live, while update on how it went!
How’d it go?
Got a crockpot for christmas, made this for my first recipe. Halfway through my first bowl, loving it man, keep up the great work!
Another great recipe, Derek. Keep em coming!
Just made my 2nd batch of this. This stuff is awesome, D!
We need some more of these Lower fat, lower carb, high protein dishes, Bro.
Another cutting staple for me, Man!
Made this yesterday and it was freakin’ awesome! Thanks Derek.
Also, I made this without mushrooms. What would you recommend as a substitute?
I made this recipe last week. Absolutely amazing. I was upset after day 6 when I had finished them all. I think this is the 14-15th recipe I’ve made and I have NEVER been disappointed. You’re the best man! Keep em coming!
Big fan! Thanks for all the recipes and ideas
Thanks for the slow cooker recipes, I usually make a batch and eat it for the week. I’m about to try this one tonight. My favorite so far is the chicken pot pie one which is excellent. Please keep them coming!
Awesome man. Just made this. Thinking of possibly adding some potatoes next time as well.
