A delightful and easy-to-make slow cooker chicken recipe with a flavorful herb sauce and tender vegetables.
Prepare the vegetables by cutting the potatoes into halves or quarters and peeling and slicing the onion.
Cut the vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
Place the potatoes, carrots, and onion slices into the bottom of the slow cooker.
Layering the vegetables first helps them absorb the flavors from the chicken and sauce.
Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the vegetables.
Ensure the chicken is evenly spaced for consistent cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pesto, chicken broth, and ranch seasoning mix until smooth.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring everything is well coated.
Use a spoon to spread the sauce evenly over all ingredients.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain the temperature.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Fresh herbs like parsley or basil can enhance the presentation and flavor.
