Equipment
- Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 1 oz packet dry ranch seasoning mix
- ¾ cup storebought or homemade pesto sauce
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 8 pieces chicken thighs (about 3-4 lbs), skinless and boneless
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the dry ranch, pesto sauce, and chicken broth. Set aside.
- Place the chicken thighs at the bottom of the slow cooker or crockpot. Pour the ranch mixture all over to cover the chicken.
- Cook on high for 4 hours or about 6 hours on low or until the chicken pieces are tender and fully cooked. Serve the chicken whole or shred first, if desired. This pairs so well with rice. Pasta and mashed potatoes would be great too. Have it with some green veggies on the side. Absolutely delish!
Notes
TIPS & TRICKS
I use air-chilled boneless and skinless chicken thighs with no extra water content and with these, I can use between 8-10 pieces for this recipe. If you have bigger chicken thighs with extra water content perhaps you can adjust by using the weight equivalent of 3-4 pounds.
If you don't have thighs then simply replace them with chicken breasts.
