Every Thursday two of my blogging friends, Trista from Andersons Angels and Stacie from Staying Me host a Crockpot Thursday feature. I have been enjoying cooking more lately and I’ve been participating in this occasionally Last week I made something new in the crockpot…chicken and noodles!
I started out trying to make something else, believe it or not! LOL It didn’t turn into the recipe I found on Pinterest, but it turned into chicken and noodles and I love that meal so I was happy! The crockpot ranch chicken I was trying to make, I didn’t see an amount of water on the recipe so I assumed I needed to cover the chicken in the crockpot and ended up adding too much water! haha! oops!
Here’s how I made it though:
I put the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the crock pot and covered them with a packet of ranch dressing mix. It’s the packet, not ranch dressing already made, so just the powder. I then covered it in water and let it cook for five hours. When I took the chicken out it was incredibly soft and so easy to shred.
I shredded the chicken in a bowl with just a pronged spatula. In a separate bowl, I combined an 8 oz softened cream cheese package with a container of cream of chicken soup. Once stirred well, I combined all in the crockpot, added carrots and let it cook for 2 hours longer.
It turned out kinda runny, but it was delicious and all I had to do was cook some egg noodles to put underneath it and there you have it…chicken and noodles! I also want to try this over mashed potatoes with biscuits! YUM!
I had left overs from the crockpot that I froze and I bought some gnocchi at the grocery store so I am going to make chicken and gnocchi soup this weekend! Sounds delicious…hope it is! 
Be sure you check out what Trista and Stacie cooked up this week!
What is your favorite thing in the crockpot?
This looks yummy! I am always looking for new and easy chicken recipes so thanks for this I will have to try it!
This looks like a great recipe for this winter. Especially with all the snow we just got.
