Crock Pot Salsa Ranch Chicken Pasta (2024)

I love it!!

Tried this with a rotisserie chicken, shred and seasoned meat with cumin, chili powder, garlic and onion powder and a little salt and pepper. Cooked noodles added chicken, noodles and all wet ingredients with a little saute onions and garlic mixed well add a little cheese. Bake covered for 30 min a 350. Came out delish. I know it’s not following the recipe but if you want a little bit of a spin on this dish, give it a try.

Can this be frozen. It made so much for just the 2 of us.

What if I have the packet of hidden valley ranch seasoning? Can I just sprinkle it in?

Made this for dinner tonight, and I was very pleased with the result. I did have to make a few alterations for dietary reasons (I had to substitute Gluten free cream of chicken soup and gluten free pasta). Also, since I’m a big fan of sour cream, I doubled the amount added. Going off one of the other reviews, I also increased the amount of ranch dressing from 1/2 cup to 3/4. Finally, before serving, I stirred in some shredded Mexican blend cheese and let it melt before serving. This will definitely be something I will make again! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Love the recipe. Came out delicious. It’s a keeper for sure

My family an I like jalapeños, so I add some in to give it an extra boost!

Can I use fresh thawed chicken breasts in the recipe instead of frozen?

Hi! I love using your recipes!! So many are our favorites!! For this one, is there something else I could use instead of the salsa? I’m not much into spicy!! Thank you!! I would love to make this this coming week!!

This is a good base recipe. Next time I will cook again as directed but will pop everything into a casserole dish with some grated mozzarella cheese on top and will bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Also, my chicken breasts were smaller so they were perfect after 4 hours on low. Thanks for the recipe.

Can I use thawed chicken? If so what does the cook time change to?
Thanks!

So I mixed the dressing in with the salsa and soup in the beginning. I misread the directions. Do you think it will still come out ok? I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Can you forgot the cream of chicken? Thought I had some on hand but I’m out and can’t get to the store today. I don’t have any other cream of anything soups.

Hi,what could be used in place of the sour cream? I’ve heard cream cheese is a good replacement for sour cream also plain Greek yogurt. Thank you

We loved this pasta! Super easy but really good! We also tried the tater tot casserole and it was one of the best we’ve ever had! Love your recipes!

I have found that when I start with frozen chicken breasts they come out a bit tough. Am I doing something wrong? This is a must try recipe. sounds delicious!

This was delicious!!!! I only used three chicken breasts as two of them were very large. I also used about 2/3 cup of regular Hidden Valley Ranch and about 1 cup of shredded cheese -italian blend (mozzarella, provolone, Parmesan, and Asiago). This was amazing! The chicken was so tender! We will be making this again!!

I’m a horrible cook, so crockpot meals are my friend! And this was delicious! I used thin sliced chicken breasts, black bean and corn salsa, added a little extra garlic, and cooked for about half the time(since the breasts were thin) … thanks for the recipe!

If the chicken is thawed already, how long would you suggest cook time to be?

My friend and I saw this recipe and both tried it the same day – then we compared. I followed the recipe as it was written and she made some changes: she used regular ranch dressing and put in some shredded mozzarella at the end as well. She also thinks she used a litttle more than half a cup of ranch. While I thought my prep was tasty, hers was DELICIOUS!! Definitely changing it up a bit next time I make this!

I have just made this for the third time & I like everything about it. There are no weird ingredients…I don’t have to saute anything in advance…the flavor is amazing. This one is definitely a keeper! Thanks!
