Crock Pot Pesto Ranch Chicken

Courtesy of Picky Palate

At first glance, this recipe seemed a bit odd to me, just in terms of ranch and pesto together. However, I love both so I decided to give it a go! This meal came out falling off the bone (if my chicken thighs had bones), but you catch my drift. The best part is that it was super easy because it involved the crock pot. This is the first time I've gotten it out all year, so that was exciting :) I only used 4 chicken breasts and kept the rest the same, and it turned out just fine. I matched this with smashed potatoes and a salad as well, but you can do whatever you fancy!

Ingredients:

• 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 6 ounce jar of pesto
• 1 package Ranch Dressing Seasoning Mix
• 1/2 cup chicken broth

Directions:

1. Turn crock pot to high setting. Place chicken thighs, pesto, ranch dressing and chicken broth into crock pot. Stir gently to combine all seasonings. Close with lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
2. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes and a simple salad.
