Ingredients

2 cups chopped (bite-sized) red potatoes OR yukon gold
1 cup halved baby carrots
1 tablespoon butter melted
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 1½ pounds
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon pepper
1 can (14.75 oz) low-sodium chicken broth
1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1 packet ranch seasoning mix

Instructions

Spray the crock pot insert with cooking spray. Add the halved baby carrots and chopped potatoes. Pour melted butter over and stir together to coat the vegetables.
Cut chicken breasts into large bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken chunks into the crock pot, on top of the potatoes and carrots.
Sprinkle the salt & pepper onto the chicken.
In a small mixing bowl whisk together chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and dry ranch seasoning mix. Mix until combined and creamy.
Pour it into the crock pot and stir everything to combine.
Cover with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 7-8 hours.

Notes

Potatoes : You can use either red potatoes or Yukon gold yellow potatoes. Or some of each. I peel off the bad parts of the skin and leave the rest on. You can peel the entire potato if that's what you prefer. I like to buy a bag of the small baby potatoes and just cut them in half.

Chicken Broth : The first time I made this I used full salt chicken broth and it was way too salty! The low-sodium chicken broth is important.

Tip : When cutting the potatoes and chicken, you want to make sure that you cut them into larger bite-sized pieces, and that they are all roughly the same size. I aim for everything to be about the size of the halved baby carrot pieces.
