CREAMY RANCH POTATOES AND CHICKEN

Steps:

• Spray crockpot with non-stick cooking spray.

• Place mixture in crockpot.
• Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours.

LOADED RANCH CHICKEN POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray. Toss the potatoes with half of the olive oil and half of the seasoning mix and spread in the baking dish; place in oven.
• While the potatoes cook (without disturbing), toss the chicken in the remaining olive oil and seasoning mix and let sit. After 25 minutes, remove the potatoes from the oven and toss with the chicken.
• Spread out evenly in the pan and return to the oven for another 20-25 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are crisp.
• Sprinkle the potatoes and chicken evenly with the cheese, crumbled bacon, and scallions and bake another 5-6 minutes, until cheese is melted. Top with sour cream or ranch dressing and serve warm.

CHICKEN AND POTATO GRATIN WITH BROWN BUTTER CREAM

Steps:

• Season chicken all over with 4 tsp. salt. Place in an airtight container and cover. Chill at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Toss potatoes, shallots, and 2 tsp. salt in a large bowl.
• Melt 4 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns, 5-8 minutes. Immediately remove from heat (it will continue to darken) and stir in cream, garlic, pepper, nutmeg, and remaining 1½ tsp. salt. Set saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until salt is dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch. Stir in thyme and sage; remove from heat.
• Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in a large stainless-steel skillet over medium-high until melted and bubbling. Working in 2 batches, cook chicken, skin side down, until golden underneath, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a 13x9" or 3-qt. baking dish and arrange skin side up. Set skillet with pan drippings aside. Nestle potatoes and shallots around chicken (don't place on top). Pour brown butter cream over chicken and vegetables, making sure herbs and spices are evenly dispersed and tucking herbs into vegetables so they don't get too crispy when they bake.
• Bake gratin until cream is mostly reduced and chicken and vegetables are dark golden brown, about 40 minutes. Let gratin cool 5-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pulse bread in a food processor until pieces are about oat-size (you should have about 1¼ cups). Toss breadcrumbs in pan drippings in reserved skillet to coat. Cook over medium heat, scraping up browned bits with a spatula, until deep golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Let cool.
• To serve, top gratin with breadcrumbs. Serve lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over if desired.

INSTANT POT PARMESAN RANCH CHICKEN AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Add chicken and potatoes to Instant Pot and drizzle with olive oil. Toss chicken and potatoes until they are coated with oil.
• In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, garlic powder, thyme, basil, oregano, and half of the dry ranch dressing mix. Sprinkle seasonings over chicken and potatoes, then toss gently to coat.
• Pour chicken broth into the Instant Pot (try to pour it to the sides of the chicken and potatoes so that you don't rinse off the seasonings).
• Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot and set the valve on top to sealing. Press the "MANUAL" button and set the timer for 16 minutes.
• Remember that it will take 10-15 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure, so be sure to plan accordingly!
• When the Instant Pot is finished cooking, do a "quick release" of the pressure. Remove the chicken and potatoes to a large bowl or serving platter.
• In another small bowl, mix together remaining ranch dressing mix, Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Drizzle butter/seasoning mix over the chicken and serve.
