Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 packet 1 oz. au jus gravy mix
  • 6 pepperoncini peppers whole or sliced, plus extra for garnish
  • ½ cup pepperoncini juice from jar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter sliced
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

  2. Add Chicken and Seasonings:Place chicken breasts into the crockpot, arranging evenly. Sprinkle ranch dressing mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the chicken.

  4. Cook:Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until chicken is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
  5. Shred and Serve:Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks directly in the crockpot, mixing well with the flavorful juices.
  6. Enjoy:Serve hot over mashed potatoes, cooked rice, pasta, or on sandwich buns. Garnish with additional pepperoncini peppers, if desired.

Notes

  • Flavor Adjustments: Adjust the number of pepperoncini peppers according to your preferred spice and tanginess level.
  • Optional Ingredients: Add sliced onions or garlic cloves at the beginning for extra depth of flavor.
  • Serving Suggestions: Mississippi chicken pairs beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty rolls for easy sandwiches.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat gently before serving.
