Quick and Easy

You know those days when you get home in the evening, after driving your kids all over creation, you look at the clock and realize it's dinner time and you haven't thought about what you're having? This meal is perfect for those days. Ranch Chicken and Rice
1 can chicken
2 cans cream of chicken
1/2 packet Ranch dressing mix
milk
*On the stove, put chicken, soup, and dressing mix in a saucepan. Stir together and mash up chicken pieces. Heat over medium, adding milk to thin (about 1/2 cup). Heat for 10 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. Serve over rice. We always eat this with peas and it's good mixed together if you don't mind mixing your food.
*Helpful hints: This is also good with Italian dressing mix. If you plan ahead, you can also make this in the crock-pot with frozen chicken breasts. If you like it really rich, you can add cream cheese.

  3. My crock pot cooks really hot, so I would do 3-4 hours on low. If you're using frozen chicken breasts and they are pretty thick, I would do 5-6 hours on low. If you're going to add cream cheese, don't add it until the last hour and make sure it's softened before.
