Crockpot creamy ranch chicken





Easy crockpot meal using boneless chicken breasts.

Today's recipe is one using a few ingredients I had on hand. 

 I had bought the chive and cream cheese spread for wraps I was making for lunch so I decided to try a recipe using some of it as well and of course those seasoning packets of ranch dressing that always come in handy.  Enjoy!

l lb. boneless chicken cut in large pieces
1 pkg. ranch seasoning mix
1 cup milk
1 cup water or chicken broth
1/4 cup chive and onion soft cream cheese
1 cup minute rice
1/2 tsp. dried parsley

Clean chicken and cut in large pieces. Place in crockpot on low.

In a large bowl place milk, water, and seasoning mix. Whisk until blended. Pour mixture over chicken and cook on low in crockpot for 4 or 5 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. Remove lid and add softened cream cheese. Stir well until cream cheese breaks up smoothly.  There will be some small cream cheese pieces and that is fine.

Turn crockpot off add 1 cup minute rice, stir and cover crockpot for about 5 to 10 minutes. Serve with vegetable of your choice or add 1 small can kernel corn to chicken mixture.

Garnish with parsley if desired.
