How Much Ranch Seasoning Is In A Packet?
The typical Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning packet contains 1 ounce.
For this Creamy Ranch Chicken, you’ll combine the Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning with a variety of Cream of Chicken Soup.
This creates the divine sauce for this rich and dreamy chicken dinner.
Can I Substitute Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Mix For The Dressing Mix?
For this recipe, yes you can.
The main differences between Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing and Ranch Dip are the ingredients that you add at home.
But for this recipe, your ranch dressing or dip mix won’t be prepared using the instructions on the back of the packet. Instead, you’ll combine the dry seasoning mix with Cream of Chicken Soup.
So you most likely will not notice any flavor difference.
Can I Use Ranch Dressing Instead Of Packet?
Yes you can.
For this recipe, you can use either a 1 ounce packet of Hidden Valley Ranch or you can use this dry Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Mix Recipe.
Either of these dry ranch dressing alternatives will work well with this recipe.
However, I do not recommend using a liquid Ranch Dressing.
Ranch dressing from a bottle may water down your sauce and take away from that amazing ranch flavor that you’re craving!

Can you do chicken thighs to
Absolutely, Shannon… just keep an eye on the cook time, as you may need to adjust it a bit.
Can you add potatoes or something else to the crockpot while the chicken cooks? Or does they need to be made separately?
I haven’t tried adding them in, and usually just cook them separately. If you do try… let us know how it turns out!
Can you just add all the ingredients and let it cook for the three hours?
Hi Kelley ~ the reason for draining the juices and adding the sauce at the end is you’ll end up with a much thicker and creamier delicious sauce. Hope that helps! 😉
When you say cook breasts in crock pot 3hrs, do you put any water in to help? Or just the chicken alone? If alone does it not burn?
Hi John ~ you’ll just cook the chicken alone. No water is required, as the chicken will end up cooking in its own juices that it releases. Hope that helps!
Hi! This looks awesome! I am thinking I will make this tonight! Any ideas on side dishes? I have some leftover garlic and herb rice and was thinking some steamed broccoli might be good, but would the rice be too much herb flavor? TIA!
Brittany
Hi Brittany ~ the Garlic and Herb rice would be a perfect addition to this meal! And yes… definitely a veggie, too… steamed broccoli or a salad? Enjoy!! 🙂
