Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Potatoes
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 1 lb little potatoes, halved or quartered
Seasoning and Sauce
- 1 (1 oz) packet ranch seasoning
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the slow cooker to ensure even cooking throughout.
- Add Potatoes: Arrange the halved or quartered little potatoes evenly over the chicken breasts to allow consistent flavor absorption and cooking.
- Season: Sprinkle the entire packet of ranch seasoning evenly over the chicken and potatoes, ensuring an even coating to infuse the dish with the classic tangy ranch taste.
- Add Sauce Ingredients: Pour the chicken broth and the cream of chicken soup directly into the slow cooker bowl without stirring. These will combine and create a creamy sauce during the cooking process.
- Cook the Dish: Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the chicken and potatoes hot. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Try adding green beans, carrots, or bacon to the slow cooker for added flavor and texture.
- This recipe is delicious served with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese on top.
