My Favorite Chicken Dinner

January 7, 2014 by Morgan 10 Comments

One of my absolute favorite chicken recipes. It is amazing, yummy, and everyone pretty much seems to love it. The guys devour it, the kids always say “this is really good”. So, I must be doing something right!

 

My Favorite Chicken Dinner
Recipe Type: Main Dish
Author: Morgan
Ingredients
  • 2 packages of Ranch Dressing mix
  • 2 cans cream of mushroom soup

  • 1 stick of butter
  • salt and pepper to taste

  • few splashes of milk
Instructions
  1. Put the chicken in the crockpot
  2. Mix together the soup and the ranch powder mix
  3. Pour over the top of the chicken
  4. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours
  5. Boil potatoes until they are mashable.
  6. While the potatoes cook add the cream cheese and butter to a large mixing bowl.
  7. Drain potatoes and add to the bowl.
  8. Using a hand mixer blend until they are nice and smooth.
  9. As you are mixing add the milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper
  10. Serve chicken and mashed potatoes with the gravy from the crockpot!

    How would one freeze this to protect the quality? 😉

      I think that this would be a pretty simple recipe to freeze. I would mix the cream of chicken and ranch in a bowl and then pour into a bag with the chicken breast. Then when you are ready thaw, or partially thaw, from the freezer and then put into a crock pot. With leftovers …. I am not sure- we never have any!! 🙂 But, I am guessing it would freeze fine if you shred the chicken and then place the entire cooked mixture into a ziploc bag and lay flat in the freezer. Let me know which way you try!
