Description

This Tender & Juicy Crockpot Mississippi Chicken is a simple yet flavorful dish that’s made with minimal ingredients. The combination of savory au jus gravy mix, tangy ranch dressing mix, and buttery chicken creates a melt-in-your-mouth, delicious meal. The pepperoncini peppers add a mild, zesty kick. Serve it shredded over rice, potatoes, or in sandwiches for an easy, comforting meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter (sliced)
  • 6 pepperoncini peppers (whole)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken:

    • Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the Crockpot.
  • Add the Seasonings:

    • Sprinkle the au jus gravy mix and ranch dressing mix evenly over the chicken breasts.
  • Add Butter and Peppers:

    • Place the sliced butter on top of the chicken.
    • Add the pepperoncini peppers over the chicken.
  • Cook the Chicken:

    • Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily.
  • Shred and Serve:

    • Once the chicken is fully cooked, shred it with two forks in the Crockpot, stirring it into the sauce. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or on sandwich buns for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, you can add extra pepperoncini peppers or a little of their juice.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or served on buns as a sandwich.
  • If you want a richer flavor, you can add a splash of heavy cream after shredding the chicken.
