Notes
For a richer flavor, you can brown the chicken breasts in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This recipe is also great with boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Adjust the amount of ranch seasoning to your taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more chicken broth until desired consistency is reached.
