Cream Cheese Ranch Chicken
Four ingredients and a slow cooker, this sounds very nice! Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 1 kilo chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, cut into large chunks
- 500 grams Cream cheese, Caroline brand will save you money, this is 2 blocks of cheese, softened
- 2 packets dry ranch dressing mix, OR use the shortcut listed on this site
- 250 grams bacon, chopped
Instructions
- Add the chicken, cream cheese, and dry ranch seasoning in to your slow cooker, mix it a bit, don't worry, the cheese will melt.
- Cook on Low setting for 6-8 hours or on High setting for 4 hours, until the chicken shreds easily. Shred with 2 forks and mix everything to combine. Turn slow cooker off.
- Pan fry the bacon until crispy then add to the slow cooker and mix to combine. Serve.
Notes
Chicken breasts cost about 80 Baht/kilo. Cream cheese will cost about 120 Baht. Bacon will run between 100 to 140 Baht. So for 300 Baht, this comes out to about $1.50 per serving for 6. That is a lean estimate, I think you will get a bit more from this.
Serve as sandwiches on a toasted bun, on nachos, use for enchilada or burrito filling, in a bowl of lettuce for a nice salad.
Options, when used on a toasted bun, top with some shredded Cheddar cheese and broil for a few seconds to melt the cheese.
Shortcut: Ranch Dressing.
