My cute daughter-in-law, Makinlee made this wonderful Creamy Ranch Chicken over Rice for our family and EVERYONE loved it! The best part about this recipe she says, is how easy it is to make. Simply place some chicken breasts or chicken thighs in a crockpot, sprinkle on a package of dry ranch dressing mix, a little pepper and a block of cream cheese. Let it cook during in the day and come home to a wonderful meal. Simply shred the chicken, then serve over rice with a sprinkle of green onions or chives on top. Makinlee first made this for two of my sons who were out at BYU last semester. They went up to Logan to visit Connor and Makinlee (who are currently attending Utah State University) and this was the dish she made. I kept hearing about how AMAZING it was, so of course when she was here, I asked her to make it. She sweetly made it one night for dinner and let me tell you, it lived up to the rave the reviews! It was soooo good!
We served it with fresh chives from my herb garden, but chopped green onions would be equally delicious. Makinlee also said that this is really good served with crispy chopped up bacon sprinkled on top. Yum! We loved it served over rice but it would be good over noodles or in a bun too. I hope you enjoy this easy, slow cooker meal. It is simple to make a really hits the spot! Pure comfort food!
