This is a great recipe to fix during the hot summer months. You don’t have to turn on your oven!

Slow Cooker Ranch Barbecue Chicken

1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1-1/2 cups chicken broth

2 tablespoons Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix Shaker

2 cups barbecue sauce

In the slow cooker, place the chicken, broth and 1 tablespoon of the seasoning mix.

Cook on high for 3–4 hours or low for 6–7 hours until the chicken is tender. Shred with two forks, drain excess liquid, and place back into the slow cooker.

Stir the remaining seasoning mix with the barbecue sauce and pour back over the chicken. Stir well and cook for another 45 minutes.

Serve warm on sandwiches, in tortillas or over rice.
