CROCK POT CREAM CHEESE RANCH CHICKEN



Crock Pot Cream Cheese Ranch Chicken image

This is a recipe that was derived from Miss Annie's Crock Pot Cream Cheese Chicken that I attempted to make but found that I didn't have exactly the right ingredients...Since my kids love ranch dressing, this version really "hit home" with them...(They were literally "licking their plates" after they were done!) I thank you so much, Miss Annie, for your inspiration for this "alternative ranch-flavored" recipe! :)

CROCK POT RANCH HOUSE CHICKEN FRIED STEAK



Crock Pot Ranch House Chicken Fried Steak image

Making this recipe in the slow cooker eliminates the traditional tasks of pounding the meat and watching the frying pan. It also produces melt in your mouth results. The rich, spicy pan gravy served over mashed potatoes is a marriage made in heaven. To turn up the heat, increase the quantity of jalapeno pepper. This needs a large minimum 5 quart slow cooker.

Sprinkle flour over mixture and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add stock and cook, stirring, until thickened. Sauce will be very thick.
