Help.... I am going to a potluck on Saturday and need recipe ideas.

The host is vegetarian and asked me to bring something that has meat in it since no one else is veg.    I need inexpensive, can be made in advance, easy and tasty.

Crockpot Cream Cheese Ranch Chicken

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I cut each breast into 3 parts)
  • paprika
  • 1 pkg. ranch dressing mix (I use my own homemade mix)
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 c. chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp. dry ranch dressing mix

Wash and dry chicken breasts and place them evenly in bottom of crock pot.  Sprinkle with paprika and the package of dry ranch dressing mix.  Cut 2 Tbsp. butter into small pieces and distribute evenly over chicken breasts.  Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.

Melt 1 Tbsp. butter.  Add cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, garlic, and dry ranch dressing mix.  Stir over medium heat until smooth.  Pour over chicken, cover again and cook on low for another 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Note:  I have a Rival crock pot and cooking times were 3 hours, then 1 hour after adding sauce.
