Blue Ribbon Recipe

This mozzarella and pesto chicken is a comforting and satisfying slow cooker dinner. Juicy and tender, they absorb the pesto and ranch dressing flavors. There's a slight tang with a hint of herbs from the pesto. The shredded mozzarella cheese sprinkled on the chicken melts slightly. Yum!
