Cool Ranch Crockpot Chicken Tacos or Tostadas
The intention was to have these posted for you in time for Cinco de Mayo, but life got crazy busy. Oh well, a couple days late, but they are worth the wait!
This recipe really should be called Cool Ranch Crockpot Chicken Tostadas, Tacos, Burritos, Nachos, etc … You can add this yummy shredded chicken to just about anything. I am excited to throw some of the leftovers on my salad tonight.
The combo of ranch & taco spices really reminded me of Cool Ranch Doritos…. hence the name. I must say, this is one of my easiest crockpot recipes. Four ingredients, in the crockpot, and push go! I hope you love this flavorful crockpot recipe.How do you plan on using your Cool Ranch Crockpot Chicken?

Oh my gosh I just made this tonight and it’s so yummy! Thank you for sharing! I will be making this again! 🙂
Hi! Going to try this tomorrow.. I’ll be at work all day, do you think I can put it on low all day? Or will it dry out? Also the recipe says 14 oz but th pic is 32.. Is 14 the right amount?
Yes, 14oz is the right amount. I always buy those big packages of broth and use it several times 🙂 You might want to add a little extra liquid if you are going to be gone all day. Hope that helps!
Thanks! Chicken was partially frozen and I added some extra water..cooked 8+ hours and turned out great! Thanks for the recipe !
Yay! I am so glad that worked out for you Katie! XO
Hey there!
Just made this tonight. I’m a firefighter so I decided to try this out on my coworkers at the firehouse. I love crockpot recipes at the firehouse just incase we have a busy day running calls, dinner is hot and ready when we can get to it. All the guys LOVED it!!!! These guys are not easy to impress. I roughly doubled the recipe (lets face it, we are firefighters, we have hungry appetites!) and we made tacos, and it turned out great!
Sarah, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this comment! It totally made my night 😉 I am soooo happy everyone loved it.
have you tried this with beef? do you think it would work? we are having a taco bar party and im in charge of the beef not chicken. or do you have a good beef recipe that could be used for tacos?
Forgive me for not reading all the posts….can you use frozen chicken breasts? if so, what would you increase the cook time to? The only way I have found to motivate myself to cook again (for 1 person) is to try all these great sounding recipes I come across on Pinterst! 🙂
I have never used frozen chicken breasts, but I have heard of people using frozen. Depending on your crockot (size, if it runs hot or cold) you may want to increase the cooking time a tad. Hope that helps!
Hi Lori,
I used frozen chicken breasts and put the cooker on high for the first two hours, then turned it to low for the rest of the time. As a disclaimer for Corey (and me!) the FDA does NOT recommend putting frozen meat in your slow cooker as it can increase the chances of food being at an unsafe temperature for too long. That being said, I still do it occasionally (read: all the time, since I forget to defrost the meat) and have never had a problem when I set it on high at first, but that’s just something to keep in mind. Hope that helps! PS, this recipe is amazing! If you haven’t tried it, you should!
