Mississippi Chicken - Slow Cooker

Chef Jenn
I love how tender and flavorful Slow Cooker Mississippi Chicken is! With a perfect balance of tangy, buttery, and savory flavors, this easy crockpot meal is packed with juicy chicken, ranch seasoning, and pepperoncini. Serve it over rice, mashed potatoes, or in sandwiches for a comforting dinner everyone will love.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken breast boneless or skinless
  • ½ cup yellow onion finely chopped
  • 1 packet chicken gravy mix
  • 1 ounce powdered ranch dressing mix
  • ½ cup pepperoncini peppers plus ⅓ cup pickling liquid
  • ½ cup unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • Arrange the chicken in a single layer at the bottom of a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker.
  • Evenly sprinkle the chopped onion, gravy mix, and ranch dressing powder over the chicken.
  • Add the Pepperoncini peppers and drizzle in the pickling liquid.
  • Cut the butter into small pieces and distribute them across the top of the chicken.
  • Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4 hours until the chicken is very tender.
  • Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Shred it with two forks or a meat shredder.
  • Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker, mixing it into the sauce.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or on a sandwich.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Swap chicken breasts for boneless, skinless thighs for extra juiciness.
  • Add more pickling liquid if you like a bolder tangy flavor.
  • Use a hand mixer to shred the chicken quickly.
  • Double the batch and freeze portions with the sauce for an easy future meal.
