Given how popular my Parmesan Chicken Casserole was, I decided to attempt yet another variation of it, this one, just as easy. Not only did I have this ready for the oven in under 10 minutes, but my family loved this dish just as much. The chicken is incredibly flavorful and moist, and is perfect over rice, pasta, or by itself. With back to school upon us, definitely try this for dinner if you are looking for a quick, inexpensive, tasty dish.
Enjoy!!

The Ranch Chicken Bake was delicious! I made it for my adult children, and they all loved it. Even my daughter who doesn’t like much of anything. They were all surprised how few ingredients were used and how easy it was to make. THANKS! Today I’m making the slow cooker creamy ranch chicken and it smells delicious!!!
Yea!!! So glad you all enjoyed it!! Let me know how the slow cooker creamy ranch chicken turns out and what you think 🙂
Do you cook the chicken or use it uncooked before you dice it??
I use it uncooked/raw before I dice it 🙂
Could you precook the chicken?
Hmmmm, you could, however, the sauce topping coats the chicken as it bakes and if the chicken is precooked, the topping wouldn’t be the same consistency.
