Here’s a simple, delicious Crockpot Ranch Chicken and Potatoes recipe — a comforting, low-effort, family-friendly meal!

🍗 Crockpot Ranch Chicken and Potatoes

📝 Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

• 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved (or regular potatoes, diced)

• 2 cups baby carrots (optional)

• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (or homemade – see below)

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• 2 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)

• Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

🥣 Instructions:

1. Prep the Crockpot: Lightly grease the inside with cooking spray or a bit of oil.

2. Layer the veggies: Place potatoes and carrots (if using) in the bottom.

3. Season the chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken in the mixture.

4. Place chicken on top of the potatoes in the Crockpot.

5. Add chicken broth over the top (this helps keep it moist and creates a light sauce).

6. Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3.5–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are soft.

7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

🧂 Homemade Ranch Seasoning (if you don’t have a packet):

• 1 tsp dried dill

• 1 tsp dried parsley

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 1/2 tsp dried chives

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Mix and use in place of the store-bought packet.
