Cooking
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.

- If desired, garnish with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Leftover Ranch Chicken lasts in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Can be frozen for up to three months. Consider marinating the chicken in ranch dressing for extra flavor. For best results, stick to low-and-slow cooking.
