Ingredients:

• Boneless, skinless chicken thighs

• Cloves garlic, minced

• Salt
• Ground black pepper
• Cream cheese softened
• Fresh parsley
• Diced scallions
• Chopped tomatoes
• Cooked bacon

Making The Slow Cooker Creamy Ranch Chicken

Pour half a cup of chicken broth into a measuring cup. Peel and mince five cloves of fresh garlic and add them to the broth. Now, roughly mince about a tablespoon of fresh dill. This really makes the ranch taste fresh and vibrant. Add the dill to the broth. Then add half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon of ground black pepper and stir to combine.

Pour the broth mixture over the chicken, cover, and cook on high for two and a half to three hours until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove the chicken from the slow cooker. Then add one 8-ounce package of softened cream cheese and whisk to combine.

To make a thicker ranch sauce, I’ll transfer my sauce into a saucepan and heat it over medium heat for about five minutes, stirring to prevent the cream mixture from burning. Then add about a quarter cup of chopped fresh parsley and two teaspoons of diced scallions to the creamy ranch mixture and stir to combine.

I’m serving our Creamy Ranch Chicken over noodles. Top the noodles with the chicken, then spoon the ranch sauce over the top. 

Add fresh chopped tomatoes and three to four slices of cooked bacon. Finish with fresh herbs.
