Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 oz packet dry ranch dressing mix
- 1 oz packet dry au jus gravy mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick
- 5-6 jarred peperoncini peppers
Instructions
- Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle both the ranch dressing mix and the packet of au jus gravy mix on top of the chicken. Place the stick of butter on top, followed by the peperoncini peppers.
- Cook on high heat for up to four hours or low heat for 6-8 hours. Shred the cooked chicken with two forks and mix well.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
Notes
- What kind of chicken to use: I like to use chicken breasts, but you could also make this Mississippi chicken recipe with boneless skinless chicken thighs. I don't recommend making it with bone-in chicken.
- Substitutions: you can easily swap the peperonicini peppers for banana peppers in this recipe. It really will not alter the flavor much at all. You can also use ranch dip mix in place of the seasoning (but don't use prepared, liquid ranch.) Another simple swap is using brown gravy mix in place of the au jus.
- Stove top option: Place all of the ingredients in a large stock pot on the stove along with 1 cup of chicken broth. Bring to a simmer over medium low heat and cover with a lid. Cook the chicken low and slow for up to four hours and shred the chicken before serving.
- Store any leftover Mississippi chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
