Ranch Crockpot Pork Chops
I had to make these simple ranch and cream of chicken pork chops after several of my readers told me about them after seeing my easy 3 ingredient French Onion Pork Chops. When I saw pork chops were on sale at my grocery store I knew exactly what recipe I was going to make for dinner this week.
I love a recipe that is simple to make but creates a fast dinner that the whole family can enjoy. I will tell you now this is another one of those recipes. The creamy sauce I could (and might) have eaten with a spoon it is so delectable. If you are looking for a lighter pork chop recipe my honey pork chops are a great option too.
What ingredients do you need for Cream of Chicken Pork Chops with Ranch?
One of my favorite things about this recipe is that you only need 4 ingredients that have no prep involved. The sauce helps to make sure the pork chops don’t dry out so you can have tender pork chops.
- Cream of Chicken Soup
- Ranch Packet
- Cream Cheese
- Pork Chops
What are the best pork chops for Smothered Pork Chops?
I like to use boneless thick-cut pork chops for my crockpot recipes since they do not dry out as fast as the thin-cut pork chops. They only had thin-cut pork chops when I made this recipe so I watched them carefully so they didn’t overcook.
You can use bone-in pork chops as well they just take a little longer to cook because of the bone so always make sure to use a meat thermometer to check when the pork chop has reached the temperature of 145° F. This will ensure that your pork chops have the maximum amount of flavor and tenderness.
Hidden Valley Ranch Packet Pork Chops
I’m not going to lie I love Hidden Valley Ranch Packets! I have loved Hidden Valley Ranch since I was a kid. This is how we made ranch dip at our house and it is the only ranch packet I use. I still remember stirring the Hidden Valley Ranch packet into the sour cream container very slowly otherwise you will spill it everywhere.
I think the unique spices they include in their special recipe give this Ranch crockpot pork chop recipe all the flavor for the sauce. If you don’t like to use spice packets you can make your own version with this recipe. But for me, this recipe is all about easy and simple so I just like to use the ranch packet!
How to make Cream of Chicken Pork Chops?
Step 1. Add pork chops, cream of chicken soup, ranch packet, and cream cheese to the slow cooker.
Step 2. Cook on low for 2-3 hours until pork chops are tender and reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
Step 3. Once finished cooking remove the pork chops and cover. Stir sauce until combined into a gravy. If you prefer a thinner sauce add chicken broth.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until translucent. Add pork chops and brown, 4 to 6 minutes on each side, stirring often to avoid burning onions and garlic.
Meanwhile, whisk together condensed soup and broth in a separate bowl. Pour soup mixture over browned chops, stirring well to loosen onions and garlic and to deglaze skillet. Reduce heat and gently simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring and turning chops occasionally, until chops are cooked through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Season with salt and pepper and serve.
