Noodles
- 12 oz Egg Noodles
Broth
- 2 cups Chicken Broth
Cream
- 8 oz Cream Cheese
Vegetables
- 1 cup Carrots, sliced
- 1 cup Peas
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Begin by placing the chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot. This helps them cook evenly and soak up all the delicious flavors.
- Add the Ranch Dressing Mix: Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated. This will infuse the chicken with that creamy, zesty goodness.
- Pour in the Chicken Broth: Pour the chicken broth over the chicken and ranch mix, allowing it to create a flavorful base for your dish.
- Add Cream Cheese: Dollop the cream cheese on top of the chicken and broth mixture. As it cooks, it will melt and create a rich, creamy sauce.
- Toss in the Noodles: After cooking for a few hours, add the egg noodles directly into the crockpot. Stir to combine and let them cook until tender.
- Add Vegetables: Finally, toss in your choice of vegetables and let them simmer until they are tender and flavorful.
Notes
- Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the cooking time to prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh chicken and vegetables enhance the overall flavor and texture.
- Adjust Liquid Levels: If you prefer a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of broth.
- Let It Rest: Allow the dish to sit for a few minutes before serving to thicken the sauce.
- Serve Hot: This dish is best enjoyed warm, paired with your favorite sides.
