Can you believe we’ve made it to Day 75 in our Summer Slow Cooker Recipes series? There have been such a variety of recipes shared. Scroll to the bottom of this post and you’ll find a link to all of them.
The combo of chicken, bacon and ranch is one of my favorites. In my opinion, any dish with the three of them is bound to be good. One morning when I was pressed for time and trying to think of something to throw in the slow cooker for dinner, I realized I had all three on hand – and these sandwiches were born!
These are a great go-to dinner, especially in warm weather. Despite being a hot sandwich, the cool ranch slaw makes these feel light and refreshing. I love to pair these with fries and some veggies with dip.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Slow Cooker Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwiches with Creamy Ranch Slaw
Ingredients
- 1 ½ - 2 lbs. boneless chicken breast
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- 1 pkg. ranch dressing mix
- 3 oz. real bacon bits
- 1 bag coleslaw mix
- Ranch dressing
- Rolls for serving
Instructions
- Place the chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker. In a small bowl, whisk together the broth and dressing mix. Pour over the chicken. Sprinkle the bacon bits over the top.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. Shred the chicken once cooked.
- While the chicken is cooking, toss the coleslaw mix with enough ranch dressing to lightly coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Serve the shredded chicken on rolls, topped with ranch slaw.

I’ve got this in my crockpot right now…sure smells good. Can’t wait to try these sandwiches!
This really looks delicious!! =)
Planning to make is soon.
Made this recipe for superbowl sunday. It was so easy and flavorful. I will make this again thanks
These were very good!
how many does this serve?
6-8 people.
Do I use frozen chicken or thawed?
You can use either. I use chicken tenders that are frozen and start them on high. If I’m using boneless breasts, I thaw a little in the microwave and start on high in the crockpot.
