Dump this bottled ranch dressing and just 2 more ingredients over chicken in the slow cooker for a crowd-pleasing meal.

Ingredients
2 to 2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
1 cup bottled ranch dressing
1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite style—sweet, smoky, or spicy)
Directions
Prepare the slow cooker: Lightly grease the insert of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker with a bit of oil or nonstick spray to help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Layer the chicken: Place the chicken breasts (or thighs) in a single, even layer in the bottom of the slow cooker. If they overlap slightly, that’s fine; they’ll shrink as they cook.
Mix the sauce: In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the ranch dressing and barbecue sauce until smooth and fully combined. This blend will serve as both the cooking liquid and the final sauce.
Add to slow cooker: Pour the BBQ-ranch mixture evenly over the chicken, making sure all of the pieces are coated. Use a spoon or spatula to nudge the sauce underneath the chicken if needed.
