Amish Potato Bake Chicken: Directions
-
Cooking Lightly spay the inside of a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray or a thin layer of butter to aid in its removal.
-
Peel the potatoes (optional) and cut it into approximately 1/2-inch cubes. Place the raw individuals of the diced potatoes in the bottom of the slow cooker in a uniform layer.
-
Add the dry ranch dressing mix, chicken broth, and cream of chicken soup into a small bowl and blend until it is relatively smooth and well mixed. Your easy tax plan: 3-ingredient sauce.
-
Spread approximately half the sauce mixture over the Potatoes (raw) diced layer, stirring the potatoes gently so that they are well covered but remain in the even layer.
-
Place the chicken breasts on the potatoes in a single layer and nestle them in the potatoes ensuring that they remain mostly on top in order to cook evenly.
-
Add more sauce over the chicken breasts and using the back of a spoon, spread the sauce evenly to ensure that each piece is properly covered and some drips down over the potatoes.
-
Place the slow cooker with its lid on and cook on LOW during 5 to 6 hours or on HIGH during 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is cooked through (165degF in the thickest part) and the potatoes are tender.
-
When the potatoes and the sauce are cooked, season them with salt and pepper (the ranch mix is a salty one so add salt and pepper at the end). For a more shredded, casserole-like dish, two forks directly shred the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and mix everything up. To make a more traditional bake, whole chicken breasts are left and are filled with the creamy potatoes.
-
Allow the slow cooker to heat the chicken and potatoes with the lid off in about 5 minutes time to slightly dry up the sauce to serve. Add hot in the slow cooker.
