Slow Cooker Pesto Ranch Chicken

I do love me a good slow cooker recipe. It does basically all the work for you. Dump all the ingredients into the crock pot, stir, turn it on, and leave. Come home and Hey-- dinner's ready! :) Brilliant invention if there ever was one.

This recipe is one of the simplest imaginable. Especially if you use store-bought pesto. 4 whole ingredients and no work! My only issue with this recipe is that it is very rich. Probably all the olive oil in the pesto. I took a while to eat the portion you see pictured. But it is delicious and easy so still worth trying. (I might decrease the amount of pesto and increase the amount of broth next time though.)

Anyway, I won't ramble on too long today. I need a nap! But here's the recipe:


Slow Cooker Pesto Ranch Chicken

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 to 2 lbs chicken thighs
  • 1 8 oz jar of pesto
  • 1 packet dry Ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
Directions:
  1. Place chicken thighs, pesto, ranch packet, and chicken broth into slow cooker
  2. Stir gently to combine the pesto, ranch and broth
  3. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours (or high 3-4 hours)
That's all for now!
