🐔🥔 Crockpot Ranch Chicken and Potatoes

📝 Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for extra tenderness)

• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
  (or 3 tablespoons homemade ranch seasoning — see below)

• 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of chicken soup

• ½ cup sour cream (optional but adds creaminess)

• ½ cup milk or chicken broth (to loosen the sauce slightly)

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Layer the Ingredients

3. Cook

   • Cover and cook on:
