This Crockpot Mississippi Chicken is an easy, flavor-packed slow cooker meal made with tender shredded chicken, ranch seasoning, au jus gravy, butter, and tangy pepperoncini. Perfect for busy weeknights, meal prep, or sandwiches, this dish is rich, buttery, and incredibly delicious!
Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts – tender and juicy when slow-cooked.
- Ranch seasoning mix – adds a tangy, herby flavor.
- Au jus gravy mix – creates a deep, savory richness.
- Unsalted butter – makes a luscious, buttery sauce.
- Pepperoncini peppers – add a mild heat and tangy kick.
- Salt and pepper – enhances all the flavors.
- Fresh parsley (optional) – for garnish.
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Sprinkle the ranch seasoning and au jus gravy mix evenly over the chicken.
- Cut the butter into chunks and place it on top. Add the pepperoncini around the chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the chicken is tender.
- Shred the chicken in the crockpot using two forks and stir to combine with the sauce.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For extra juiciness, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts.
- Want more heat? Add extra pepperoncini or a splash of the juice.
- Make it creamier by stirring in a bit of cream cheese after shredding.
