    Ingredients
      

    • 3 lbs. large boneless skinless chicken breasts
    • Non-stick spray
    • 6 oz jar of prepared pesto sauce
    • 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
    • ½ cup chicken broth

    Instructions

    • Place chicken into a lightly sprayed crockpot. Pour prepared pesto sauce, Ranch dressing mix, and chicken broth over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

    Notes

    Look for authentic pesto sauce prepared with pine nuts and olive oil rather than substitutions, or make your own homemade pesto. Pesto freezes well, so if you make your own you can double up and freeze the extra.
