Description

This easy Crockpot Mississippi Chicken recipe delivers fork-tender, juicy chicken breasts infused with the incredible flavors of pepperoncini peppers, ranch seasoning, au jus gravy, garlic, and butter. It’s a simple ‘dump and go’ slow cooker meal perfect for family dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (1 oz) au jus gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, sliced into 8 thinner pieces
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic (or 2 fresh cloves)
  • 68 whole pepperoncini peppers
  • 1/4 cup pepperoncini pepper juice (from the jar)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker. Season the chicken breasts with the kosher salt and black pepper.
  2. Evenly sprinkle the au jus mix and ranch seasoning mix over the chicken.
  3. Add the slices of butter and minced garlic evenly over the seasoned chicken.
  4. Arrange the whole pepperoncini peppers around the chicken breasts and pour the pepperoncini pepper juice over the chicken and seasonings.
  5. Cover with the lid and cook on LOW heat for 6-8 hours or HIGH heat for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and is easily shreddable.
  6. Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred it using two forks or a hand mixer on low speed inside the crockpot.
  7. Stir the shredded chicken into the sauce until well combined.
  8. Serve the Mississippi chicken with extra gravy sauce over mashed potatoes, rice, in a baked potato, or on sandwich rolls with cheese.

Notes

  • Pepperoncini peppers are tangier and more savory than banana peppers and cannot be interchanged. Choose your preferred heat level.
  • If using salted butter, omit or reduce the added kosher salt.
  • For easier shredding, use a hand mixer directly in the slow cooker on low speed. Avoid over-blending to prevent mushiness.
  • Serving suggestions include mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, cauliflower rice, or sandwich rolls with cheese.
