Slow Cooker Chicken & Vegetables

A complete and thoroughly delicious ranch-flavored chicken and veggies all from your crock pot.

This post departs from my usual image-filled posts–reason being my sister is visiting and we’ve been spending time catching up. So I just grabbed my iPad instead of my regular more sophisticated camera, and snapped this pic. We were hungry too–all that chattering really wears you out! 😉

I was dying to try this version which came from member Lisa W of my Facebook crock pot group. There’s another version with a different flavor that was originally made by my friend Sarah of The Magical Slow Cooker. Those versions use boneless skinless breast, but I substituted thighs since I really am not fond of the texture of breast meat from the slow cooker.

It’s very easy to prepare and the results are just wonderful. We devoured it.

I do suggest using the ranch seasoning mix that I link to in the ingredient list. I made this up especially for when I had to combine ranch dressing mix with a prepared dry gravy mix so I could control the salt. Many things made with this combo taste very salty to me so I made up Missy’s recipe and used half the salt called for in her version. I also used unsalted butter. I might add that this homemade version is far superior to the packets you buy in the store.

      I’m pretty sure you can–although you’d have to eliminate some water. I’d use 1/2 the water (you can always add more later). I’d use 1/2 the butter too.
