Steps:
- Place the chicken breasts into your slow cooker. Add the pesto and spread it evenly over the chicken. Sprinkle the ranch dip mix over the chicken. Add the chicken broth. Scatter the pieces of butter over the chicken. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours. Top the chicken with the mozzarella before serving.
Tips:
- For a crispier chicken breast, sear it in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side before placing it in the slow cooker.
- To make a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce and cook until thickened.
- If you don't have any pesto on hand, you can make your own by combining fresh basil, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, garlic, pine nuts, and salt in a food processor.
- For a more flavorful dish, use sun-dried tomatoes instead of regular tomatoes.
- Serve the chicken with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
