If you love the peppery kick of pepperoncini peppers, this easy slow cooker meal will be a favorite. It’s easy to make for gameday or a weeknight meal and leftovers keep wonderfully.

There’s only about 5 minutes of prep time needed to make this Mississippi Chicken. It’s a dump and go recipe and great for the busy back to school season.

How To Make

To make it, combine 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a 6-quart slow cooker with a packet of Ranch seasoning, a packet of Au Jus Gravy Mix, a stick of unsalted butter and about 10-12 pepperoncini peppers. It will need 5-6 hours on LOW to cook, after which it will easily shred with 2 forks.

You won’t believe how wonderfully juicy and tender the chicken is!

The pepperoncini peppers give this chicken a nice spicy kick, but it’s definitely not over-spicy.

Tips For Making Crock Pot Mississippi Chicken

Chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts.
You can thicken up the gravy with a little cornstarch and serve the extra gravy over mashed potatoes. So good!
You can use frozen chicken breasts and cook on LOW for 8 hours. This is great if you are going to be gone all day.

How To Serve

This recipe makes a great sandwich. I cut open a sub roll, line it with provolone cheese and stick it in the toaster oven until crispy. Also is delicious served over white rice or mashed potatoes.

Notes

You can use salted butter, but you might find the finished dish to be a little salty.
