Description

Crockpot Mississippi Chicken is a flavorful and easy-to-make slow cooker recipe featuring tender chicken breasts cooked with ranch seasoning, au jus gravy mix, butter, and pepperoncini peppers. This hearty dish is perfect for an effortless weeknight dinner or meal prep, delivering a rich, tangy taste that pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, rice, or sandwich rolls.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 ounce)
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix (about 1 ounce)

Additional Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
  • 6 to 8 pepperoncini peppers
  • 2 tablespoons pepperoncini juice
  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts evenly in the bottom of your slow cooker to create a base layer for the seasonings and other ingredients.
  2. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix and the au jus gravy mix evenly over the chicken breasts to ensure consistent flavor throughout the dish.
  3. Top with Butter and Peppers: Place the ½ cup of unsalted butter on top of the chicken, then add the pepperoncini peppers along with 2 tablespoons of their juice for a tangy kick.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or alternatively on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken turns tender and is easy to shred.
  5. Shred and Mix: Once cooked, shred the chicken directly inside the slow cooker using two forks, then stir gently to mix the shredded chicken with the flavorful juices and melted butter.
  6. Serve: Serve the Mississippi Chicken hot over mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, or sandwich rolls. Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley for added color and freshness.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken thighs for a richer and more moist flavor profile.
  • For a lighter version, reduce the butter quantity to ¼ cup.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep and freezes beautifully for future meals.
