The Whole30 really has changed me for life. I would have looked at the title of this recipe, gotten the idea for ranch chicken, and thrown it over some rice or something. I would have also used a packet of ranch….filled with all sorts of things you can’t pronounce and probably shouldn’t put in your body. This recipe, however, uses ingredients that are good for you and are whole30/paleo compliant! Yay for healthy foods that taste like they are SO bad for you! Haha! Alright, let’s get down to the recipe…
Ingredients:
- 2-4 Chicken breasts- depending on how many servings you want to make
- A medium to large sized onion
- 1/3 cup of ghee
- Bell peppers
- 3/4 cup hot sauce
- 1 tsp parsley
- 1 tsp dill
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp chives
Directions:
- Put your chicken into your crockpot.
- Mix up your dried spices and add them to the crockpot.
- Chop up your onions and sprinkle them over the chicken.
- Add your hot sauce and mix everything together. Make sure that you coat the chicken well and get the spices all mixed in to the sauce.
- Cut ghee into small pieces and place them evenly throughout the crockpot.
- Cook chicken in your crockpot on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.
- Once it is cooked, take a fork to the chicken and it should shred extremely easily. Mix shredded chicken and sauce together.
- Taste the sauce at this point and decide whether it tastes enough like ranch. This is the point where you would add more dry spices if you want more of a ranch flavor. I personally added a lot here!
- Cut the tops off of your peppers and take out the seeds.
- Scoop the chicken mixture into each pepper.
- Bake on 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes, or until the peppers are a bit soft.
- Enjoy!
I won’t lie, I would eat the chicken mixture just by itself as well. Ranch chicken=life! I hope you all enjoy the recipe! Let me know if you happen to try it out!
