An easy weeknight dinner that is sure to please! This Chicken Pasta is made in your slow cooker and uses just a few delicious ingredients!
Chicken Pasta with Ranch
When it comes to weeknight dinners, I’m always looking for something easy, with relatively few ingredients that is picky-eater friendly. Crock Pot Chicken Pasta always fits the bill!
I love using my slow cooker any time of the year, but I put it to use most often during the work week. It’s such a relief to walk in the door after a hectic day and have dinner ready and waiting.
I like to add a few different toppings to the chicken ranch pasta before serving. Don’t get me wrong, the pasta is delicious as-is, but adding some broccoli florets, bacon or fresh parsley kicks the flavors up a notch.
Make this Crock Pot Chicken Pasta a great meal by serving it with the following –
- 30 Minute Cheesy Breadsticks
- Spinach Salad with Onion + Poppy Seed Dressing
- Simple Roasted Vegetable
- Easy Strawberry Cake
Chicken Ranch Pasta

Can you put the pasta in to slow cook with the chicken?
I’ve added noodles to crock pot soups before, but not for the entire cook time as I imagine they will get soggy. I usually put them in for 30 minutes or so at the end and it has worked well, but I’ve never tried it with this recipe. Let me know if it works! 🙂
That looks so good. I will try it, but I will use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. It will add protein and cut fat if it works! Ii know the Greek yogurt stands up to heat in general, but I am still debating when to add it. Any ideas or experience would be appreciated.
everything my family loves!!
