SLOW COOKER CREAMY RANCH CHICKEN

Tender chicken in a creamy ranch gravy is a big dish of comfort!  Set it and forget in in your slow cooker! Here’s a meal that comes with absolutely zero fuss. It’s a real “dump and go” preparation so nothing could be easier. I served this over jasmine rice and it was delicious. It also reheats easily if you have leftovers.
