Instructions:

Step 1

Prepare the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the ranch dressing mix, cream of chicken soup, and milk until smooth.

Step 2

Assemble the Crockpot: Place the cubed potatoes and baby carrots in the bottom of the slow cooker. Layer the chicken breasts on top.

Step 3

Add the Sauce: Pour the ranch mixture over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring everything is well coated.

Step 4

Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Step 5

Shred the Chicken (Optional): For smaller pieces, shred the chicken before serving.

Step 6

Finish the Sauce: If the sauce separates during cooking, whisk it until combined before returning the chicken to the crockpot.

Pro Tips

Prep Ahead: Chop the potatoes and carrots the night before and store them in the fridge to save time in the morning.

Choose Your Chicken: You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a richer flavor and more moisture.

Add Fresh Herbs: For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or thyme before serving.

Thicken the Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little cold water and stir it into the sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Make It a Meal: Serve with a side salad or some crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
