Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb chicken breast
Vegetables
- 1 lb little potatoes, halved or quartered
Seasonings & Sauces
- 1 (1 oz) packet ranch seasoning
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (about 10.5 oz)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker base. This allows the chicken to cook evenly throughout.
- Add Potatoes: Arrange the halved or quartered little potatoes evenly on top of the chicken breasts to ensure the flavors meld together during cooking.
- Season the Ingredients: Sprinkle the entire packet of ranch seasoning evenly over the chicken and potatoes to infuse them with the tangy, herby ranch flavor.
- Add Liquids: Pour the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup over the chicken and potatoes without stirring. These will cook together into a creamy, flavorful sauce.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are tender.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the chicken and potatoes hot. Optionally, garnish as desired, such as with shredded cheddar cheese or fresh herbs.
Notes
- Try adding green beans, carrots, or bacon for extra flavor and texture.
- This dish is delicious served with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese on top for added richness.
