It was so nice to come in from swimming last night
and dinner was ready to put on the table
LOVE IT!
and it was delicious to boot!
This will for sure make it into our regular recipe line-up
I found this one on Pinterest
(LOVE her!)
and decided to try it out.
We were not disappointed!
I even put the cream cheese
and chicken in the crock pot
FROZEN!
I then made a double batch of brown rice
so we would have enough
for another dinner this week!
(cook once, two meals!)
Ingredients:
- 1 lb of chicken (I used 2 LARGE breasts)
- 8 oz of low fat cream cheese (this is the only kind I buy – no need for the higher fat!)
- Garlic powder – to taste (you know I never measure – about 1tsp)
- fresh ground pepper
- 1 packet Dry Ranch Mix
- 1-2 Green Onions – chopped
- 8oz Light Sour Cream
Directions:
I put everything but the sour cream into the Crockpot – and since I am lazy and didn’t defrost anything, they all went in frozen, so after an hour or so, I stirred and mixed it all together! If you don’t put things in frozen, the cream cheese should melt faster and you can stir it together sooner!
4-6hrs on High, 8-10 on low. Shred up the chicken with 2 forks and Add in the sour cream about 20 minutes before serving. Which is a perfect amount of time to cook your rice. I always use a rice cooker, so I don’t have to worry about timing it or it burning 😛
I shredded the chicken and added the sour cream before we left for swimming and used my “Keep Warm” option on my slow cooker. I then started a full (4 cups dry!) batch of brown rice, which takes about twice as long as white rice, especially in such a big batch – as we were walking out the door for swimming. I used my Rice Cooker, so it was safe to leave cooking while gone because it turns itself off when done cooking. Coming home 2 hrs later, the rice was all cooked (enough for dinner later this week too) and the chicken was delicious and perfectly warm and ready to eat!
Love walking in the door to dinner ready to eat and this was delicious!!
ENJOY!!
