slow cooker ranch yumminess

Just because it is summer doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the best of all your slow cooker has to bring you.  I mean what is better than being out all day playing (or working) and coming home to dinner being 90% done and knowing that everyone is going to love it…I don’t know about you but that sounds pretty good to me.

Not too long a go I started making my own Ranch seasoning and ever since then I can’t seem to stop making everything with it, but favorite combo is with chicken.  I just love how it pairs with the flavors and especially in this slow cooker dish.

The Hubby couldn’t wait to try this dish…he was gone all day as it was cooking and when he came home he said he could smell the “yummy goodness” all the way in the garage….it smelled that good.  The minute he came in he asked if dinner was done, and of course it was so I went to finishing everything so he could get down to it.

To finish the dish I did put the chicken under the broiler topped with some cheese to help melt the cheese and to add a little color while I finished the sauce in the slow cooker.  If you don’t want to worry about the broiler, you don’t have too.  You can either stir the cheese into the sauce, after you remove the chicken, or shred the chicken in the sauce and then stir in the sauce…then you would have a ranch shredded chicken which would be super yummy too.  I would put that on a potato or in a bun for dinner.  Then the next day throw it on a  salad for an updated chicken salad….ok now I am hungry for dish all over again.
