Description
This 5-ingredient Mississippi chicken recipe is really easy to make and perfectly juicy! The signature pepperoncini ranch sauce tastes zesty and amazing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 12 pepperoncini peppers
- 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice
- 1 (1 ounce) packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 (1 ounce) packet au jus gravy mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Instructions
- Step: Add the chicken breasts to your slow cooker. Pour in the pepperoncini juice and then add the peppers on/around the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken with the ranch and au jus seasoning, and then place the butter on top. Cover and cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.
- Step: Shred the chicken with two forks, toss with the sauce, then serve and enjoy.
Notes
Chicken breasts can dry out, so if you’re planning on cooking it for the full 8 hours, you may want to swap with boneless skinless chicken thighs. Use unsalted butter as the seasoning packets already contain salt.
