Creamy Onion and Ranch Chicken

This was DEEEEEE-LISH-US!!!!  LOL  I think I said "Yummmmmm!" after the first 5 bites or so!  My husband and I gobbled ours up quickly, and once we FINALLY convinced my daughter to eat dinner, she cleaned her plate too! (Gotta love the determination of a 3 year old!)

It was creamy, warm, oniony, ranchy.....lol.  It was just plain G-O-O-D!!!!  I know you're going to love this one!  It was really easy to put together, so even all my newbies out there can handle this one, I promise!!!!!  I really hope you give this a try because you'd seriously be missing out on some good food if you didn't!  We simply served ours over rice.  I highly recommend it because it was like eating risotto almost the way it soaked up the creamy sauce! Mmmmm.....my mouth is watering thinking about it again!

I would like to thank Dawn Rug Monteferrante for posting a "Cream Cheese Chicken" recipe which inspired this dish!


Oh, one more thing.....I have fresh chives in my garden right now, so I'm ALWAYS looking for an excuse to use them.  If you don't have fresh chives, you can leave them out or use dried.  If you use dried, don't garnish with them, but put them in with your cream cheese sauce.

Ok, now for the good stuff:

Creamy Ranch and Onion Chicken

1.5 lbs. Chicken, sliced into 1/2" skinny pieces (Use at least 2 if you have a bigger family than 3)

I package Dry Ranch Dressing

1 tsp. Italian Seasoning

1/2 cup water

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper

Chives to taste for garnish

Directions:

Place the Chicken in the bottom of your Slow Cooker.  Season with the Salt and Pepper.
