Start with your spices to add full flavor. In a small bowl, combine ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend well.
Coat the Chicken:
Rub each chicken breast generously with the spice mixture. Make sure every inch is coated for a flavor-packed result.
Sear for Extra Flavor:
Sear the chicken in a hot skillet with a bit of olive oil until each side is golden brown. This step locks in flavor and gives the chicken a nice crust.
Layer in the Crockpot:
Halve or quarter baby potatoes. Place them in your crockpot and sprinkle a little leftover seasoning. Add the seared chicken on top.
Slow-Cook to Perfection:
Set your crockpot on low. Let everything cook until chicken becomes fork-tender and potatoes soften, around 4-6 hours.
Finishing Touches:
Before serving, garnish with fresh parsley. This final step adds brightness and a pop of color.
