Tender and flavorful Mississippi Chicken slow-cooked with ranch dressing, au jus gravy mix, pepperoncini peppers, and butter for a deliciously savory meal that’s perfect for busy days.
Ingredients
Chicken
- 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Vegetables
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 8-10 pepperoncini peppers
Seasonings & Mixes
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
Others
- ¾ cup juice from pepperoncini
- ½ cup butter, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Crock Pot: Spray a large crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or line it with a crock pot liner to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Add Onion and Chicken: Place the diced onion at the bottom of the crock pot, then add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top of the onions.
- Season the Chicken: Sprinkle both the au jus gravy mix and ranch dressing mix packets evenly over the chicken breasts to season thoroughly.
- Add Peppers and Butter: Place the pepperoncini peppers over the chicken and distribute the sliced butter in several pads on top of the mixture. Pour the reserved ¾ cup of pepperoncini juice over everything to infuse flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 6 to 7 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of pepperoncini peppers to your desired spice level.
- Serve the chicken with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
- Leftovers can be shredded and used in sandwiches or tacos.
- Make sure to use the pepperoncini juice, as it adds a signature tangy flavor to the dish.
- For a slower cook, use the low setting, but the high setting is perfect for quicker meals.
