Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 2 pounds of chicken breasts (or thighs) - approximately 6 chicken breasts
• 1 packet of ranch dip mix (the powdered stuff)
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• salt & pepper for sprinkling
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1/3 cup half & half
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 3 ounces cream cheese

Directions

1. Spray slow cooker with cooking spray (this will save you some serious scrubbing later).

2. Place chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker and sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.

3. Dump one packet of ranch dip mix over chicken, and then pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth.

4. Turn on slow cooker and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-7 hours.

5. Thirty minutes before serving, mix 1/3 cup half & half with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Pour into slow cooker and stir to mix. Sprinkle on 1/2 teaspoon oregano and 1 teaspoon parsley.

6. Cube 3 ounces of cream cheese and distribute evenly in the liquid in the slow cooker. Replace lid and cook for an additional 20-25 minutes.

7. Remove chicken to platter, stir sauce and pour over. Serve over pasta garnished with fresh parsley. For a low-carb meal, serve with a fresh green salad, or steamed vegetables.
