Easy 5-Ingredient Crockpot Chicken Tenderloins

Toss raw chicken tenderloins into the crockpot with just four simple pantry staples, then let the slow cooker turn them into tender, juicy, flavorful chicken. This easy recipe is perfect for busy weeknights and can be served with rice, mashed potatoes, vegetables, or pasta.

Ingredients

2 lb (900 g) raw chicken tenderloins
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Add the Chicken

Place the raw chicken tenderloins in a 6-quart slow cooker in an even layer.

Sprinkle the black pepper over the chicken.

2. Add the Pantry Staples

Spoon the cream of chicken soup over the chicken.

Sprinkle the ranch seasoning evenly over the top.

Pour in the chicken broth.

3. Slow Cook

Cover and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours or HIGH for 1½–2½ hours, depending on the size of the tenderloins.

The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

4. Make It Creamy

About 15–20 minutes before serving, stir in the sour cream.

Gently mix it into the cooking juices until you have a smooth, creamy sauce.

5. Serve

Remove the chicken carefully and spoon the creamy sauce over the top.

Serve with:

Mashed potatoes
White rice
Egg noodles
Steamed broccoli
Green beans
Roasted vegetables

Recipe Tips

Don’t overcook chicken tenderloins because they are smaller and leaner than whole chicken breasts.
Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Avoid adding extra salt until you’ve tasted the finished sauce because ranch seasoning and condensed soup can be salty.
For extra flavor, add sliced mushrooms or chopped onions.
If the sauce is too thick, stir in a little warm chicken broth.
Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
