I’m still working on organizing all of my recipes clipped from magazines and newspapers. The trouble is that I keep adding to it faster than I can organize it! It doesn’t help that I get even more cooking magazines now. This recipe for Creamy Ranch Chicken has been in my pile of clippings for quite a while. It’s from Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I love it because it is so creamy and warm. Great for a winter dinner. Plus, it’s super-easy! Just serve with a salad.
Of course I made some changes to it. I made it healthier by using turkey bacon and cooking the chicken in olive oil instead of the bacon drippings. I also used Simply Organic Ranch Dip Mix and skim milk.
