Mississippi chicken slow cooker
A no-fuss Mississippi Chicken Slow Cooker recipe made with juicy chicken breasts, pepperoncini, ranch, au jus, and butter for a comforting, flavorful one-pot meal.
Ingredients
- 4 large chicken breasts, boneless skinless
- 12 pepperoncini peppers
- 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice (from jar)
- 1 (1 oz) packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 (1 oz) packet au jus seasoning
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into pieces
Instructions
- Add the chicken breasts to your slow cooker.
- Pour in the pepperoncini juice and add the peppers around the chicken.
- Sprinkle the chicken with ranch and au jus seasoning mixes.
- Place butter pieces on top.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 3–4 hours or LOW for 6–8 hours.
- Shred the chicken with two forks and toss with the sauce. Serve warm.
Notes
If you're cooking this for the full 8 hours, consider using boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts—they stay tender and juicy longer in the slow cooker. Also, since the seasoning blends are pretty salty on their own, stick with unsalted butter and hold off on adding extra salt until you've tasted the final dish.
