Crock Pot Pesto Chicken

April 26, 2013

I am really excited about this recipe because not only did we have a fabulous pesto chicken over penne pasta dinner, we had the most delicious pesto chicken sandwiches the next day! I found this recipe over at the Picky Palate and made just a couple of changes. With only 4 ingredients, it is so easy!
Ingredients:
– 6 oz jar of pesto
– 4-6 chicken breast fillets
– 1/2 cup of chicken (or veggie) broth
– 1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Dip
Directions:
1. Place chicken breasts at the bottom of the crock pot
2. Pour pesto over the chicken and spread to coat the tops of the chicken.
3. Sprinkle ranch packet over the top.
4. Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth and give it a little stir so ranch and pesto are mixed.
5. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 (I cooked mine on low for 7)
Step 1 and 2:
Step 3:

Step 4:
I served the pesto chicken (and sauce) over penne pasta for dinner. Then I shredded the leftover chicken and made some REALLY yummy sandwiches. I placed the sauced up shredded pesto chicken on a toasted hoagie roll, added fresh (melted) mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and little bit of mayo. My mouth is watering thinking of the sandwich I ate earlier, it really was THAT good! 
Enjoy!

    This is just a recipe that did not know existed, cause here in Italy we eat pesto and we dress pasta with pesto, but not chiken. But, ok, sounds really good. You let go of my desire to try and enjoy!! Very creative recipe and beautiful pics.

    Do you need to add the ranch?

      That's my question too … I don't have ranch and I'm trying to use up my pesto sauce 🙁

      You probably don't need to use the ranch, but I think it definitely added to the flavor & I'm not a big ranch fan.

      Bit late, but you could add any herbs you wanted instead of the ranch, amd it'd probably be cleaner too.

    This is my absolute favorite crock pot recipe! I make it way too often. I'm not supposed to have much sodium so I'm trying to find lower sodium pesto and ranch. I may have to break down and learn to make them both on my own. Just wanted to say "thank you" for introducing me to such fabulous flavors!

      Pesto isn't hard to make from scratch if you have a fiod processor. (Or even just a mortar and pestle)
      Ranch:
      5 tablespoons dried minced onions
      7 teaspoons parsley flakes
      4 teaspoons salt
      1 teaspoon garlic powder
      Mix together and store in an air tight container.
      For dressing: Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 cup buttermilk or sour cream.
      For dip:  Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 2 cups sour cream.
      Mix up a few hours before serving, so the flavors all blend.

    عملکرد لیزر موهای زائد چگونه است؟
    نور لیزر هر چیزی که تیره‌رنگ باشد را حرارت داده و می‌سوزاند. با حرارت دادن و سوزاندن موی تیره‌رنگ داخل فولیکول مو، خود فولیکول نیز آسیب می‌بیند و از بین می‌رود. هرکدام از موهای بدن ما دارای یک چرخه‌ی رشد و استراحت هستند. در یک
    زمان مشخص اکثر موهای بدن ما در فاز استراحت هستند و تعداد کمی از آن‌ها در فاز رشد هستند.
    اگر هنگام ليزر موهای زائد اصفهان ، فولیکول مو در فاز استراحت باشد، اشعه لیزر بر آن اثری ندارد. به
    همین دلیل است که برای از بین بردن تمامی ‌موها به چندین جلسه درمان با لیزر، با فاصله های زمانی مشخص نیاز است. با هر جلسه رفع موهای زائد تعدادی از فولیکول‌های فعال مو سوخته می‌شوند و بالاخره پس از مدتی تمامی‌ موها از بین می‌روند.
