Can you put everything in all at once instead of chicken first?
Hi Diane ~ yes, you technically can, but it will end up watered down and not be nearly as tasty that way. The reason you’ll want to drain off the juices and then add the sauce near the end is because you’ll end up with a much thicker, more flavorful sauce. Hope that helps! 🙂
Would you add any liquid to the crock pot with the chicken? How much?
Hi MK ~ no liquid is required, as the chicken will release juices as it cooks. Hope that helps! 🙂
I love how easy and delicious your recipes always sound! I bet it was totally plate licking good can’t go wrong with chicken and bacon
Haha… thanks, Christie! This one really is worthy of licking your plate clean! 🙂
Heidi,
I love how you have used just 5 ingredients to make this bacon chicken ranch. Crockpot recipes make life so much easier during the hot, humid days like what we have right now.
This sounds a great take on classic chicken recipes and I will ask my girls to make them over the weekend. Thanks for such an easy recipe.
I agree… crockpot dinners can be such a lifesaver on the hot days of Summer, and a great way to keep the kitchen cool! 🙂 Enjoy your fun dinner this weekend!
