Homemade ranch seasoning can be made with pantry staples.

Start by placing 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts in a 6-quart crock pot.

Add 2 cups of baby carrots on top of the chicken.

Peel and dice 4 russet potatoes into large chunks and add them to the crock pot.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 can of cream of chicken soup, 1 cup of milk, and 1 package of ranch seasoning mix.

Whisk the mixture together to avoid clumps of ranch seasoning.

Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the crock pot.

Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, checking for doneness.

After cooking, check that the potatoes are fork-tender and the chicken is cooked through.

If desired, to thicken the sauce, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the sauce, cooking for an additional 30 minutes on high or 1 hour on low.

Serve the chicken and vegetables in a shallow bowl with extra sauce on top.
