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.
