I recently found a recipe online for Cheesy Bacon and Ranch Potatoes, a side dish. I thought, "why not add chicken and make it a total meal!" So I did and this is the results of my Chicken and Cheesy Potatoes which my family loved. I have a few picky eaters so I was overly excited when everyone liked it. Being cooked in a slow cooker made this meal extra easy, just add the ingredients and walk away until dinner time. The final image may look a bit bland but I can attest to the fact that it was full of flavor.

This is one of my favorite kitchen tools, my KitchenIQ potato peeler with a knife.
layer all the ingredients in the slow cooker
cook on high for 4 hours
or low for 6-8 hours
And it's finished
You can shred the chicken to make it easier to serve if you desire
