Ingredients
Chicken
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
Seasoning and Stock
- 1 cup chicken stock (low sodium preferred)
- 1 ounce spicy ranch seasoning mix (about 3 tablespoons)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and season both sides generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Add Chicken Stock: Pour 1 cup of low sodium chicken stock into the base of your slow cooker to keep the chicken moist while cooking.
- Season the Chicken: Sprinkle half of the spicy ranch seasoning mix onto one side of each chicken breast. Place these seasoned sides down into the slow cooker to maximize flavor absorption.
- Top with Remaining Seasoning: Sprinkle the remaining spicy ranch seasoning mix evenly over the top side of the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 4-6 hours until the chicken is tender, juicy, and fully cooked through.
