Yum, yum, and yum! That is all I have to say about this dish! Creamy goodness and low cal. Doesn't get much better than that. I served mine with egg noodles but this dish would go great over rice or even as a filling for tacos. We will be having this one again soon!

ReplyDeleteIs there a way to cook this on high? Just because I wont be able to set it 4 hours before we eat, and I dont want it to overcook.
ReplyDeleteSure. I would increase the chicken broth and use 2 cups instead of one, to make sure the chicken doesn't dry out.
ReplyDeleteMine is WAY to watery...what did I do wrong???
ReplyDeleteDid you use frozen chicken? That would make it watery.
ReplyDeleteThis wasn't good. The cream cheese should be incorporated into the broth before putting in the crockpot, or as I suspected it turned into a curdled looking mess. I doubled the sauce part and added a whole packet of the dressing mix. Still it tasted bland. I won't be making this again.
ReplyDeleteI am making this tonight and as I was reading the recipe I wondered if I should mix the cream cheese in with the broth. Your comment definitely helped me make that decision. I will let you know how it turns out. I'm going to put more ranch in it too. Maybe 1 1/2 packs.
DeleteI made this tonight and I did a few things different and it was a hit with everyone (family of 4). I mixed my cream cheese in my broth with my hand held beaters. I also used 1 1/2 envelopes of ranch mix. It was the perfect combination! I put the chicken in the crockpot, sprinkled the ranch on the chicken and left it sit for about 2 hours to soak in some of the ranch flavor. My personal opinion, you don't need the bacon bits. I think I would prefer it without. But doing it the way I mentioned made it very tasty and I will be making it again.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it!
