Rachel Hodges from Omaha, Arkansas shared this delicious recipe with Gooseberry Patch. She writes, "These yummy nachos are a savory, spicy treat and it's a breeze to make them in the slow cooker. Make it even easier by using tenderloins instead of chicken breasts...just cut the cooking time in half!"

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts

garlic salt to taste

salt & pepper to taste

12 oz. bottle buffalo wing sauce

1/2 c. ranch salad dressing

About Gooseberry Patch

Back in 1984, Vickie Hutchins and Jo Ann Martin were next-door neighbors raising their families in Delaware, Ohio. They were two moms with small children looking for a way to do what they loved and stay home with the kids too. They shared a love of home cooking and making memories with family & friends. After many a conversation over the backyard fence, Gooseberry Patch was born.

Today, Gooseberry Patch is best known for its homestyle family-friendly cookbooks and line of art calendars. With more than 200 titles and nearly 9 million copies in print, plus a new collection of eBooks and instructional cooking videos, Gooseberry Patch has grown from a kitchen-table operation to a nationally recognized bestselling publisher. Affordably priced from 99 cents to $16.95, the books are themed with today's time-strapped, budget-conscious families in mind. Many recipes include personal stories from contributors, giving the cookbooks a warm community feel that has proven extremely popular among cookbook fans and collectors.
