Slow Cooker Chicken Recipe (Creamy Ranch Chicken)

slow cooker creamy chicken recipe, crock pot dump and go recipe

If you could have any super power in the world, what would it be?  Seriously.  What would you choose?  Super speed.  Time travel. Super human strength. Seeing the future.  Which would you choose.

I think I would pick super speed so I can get more done in less time.  I think that’s why I’m borderline obsessive with time management and productivity hacks.

As moms we want to get all. the. things. done so we can spend more time with our family, but all those things usually include some no so fun chores.  You know, like cleaning, laundry, dishes, and cooking for some picky kids.

Using the slow cooker is my secret weapon to sticking to our meal plan each week and making sure we’re not wasting food.  It really is the easiest tool in the kitchen to help with all the dinner pains most families face.  You, like me, might not actually enjoy cooking dinner after a long day at work.  You, like me, might think that it’s torture to come home and immediately have to start cooking when everyone else is relaxing and asking, “How long until dinner, Mom?”

So let’s make a deal – let’s start making dinner easy on ourselves by sharing super simple, super easy dump and go dinner recipes with one another.

Okay?  Deal.

Especially, when the temperatures start to dip and it’s chilly in the evenings that’s when you can start having a deep appreciation for your slow cooker.  Don’t get me wrong, summer is still the perfect time for using a slow cooker because it doesn’t heat your entire house up, but there is something special about using it in the fall.
