Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Mississippi Chicken

  • Begin by placing the slow cooker on your countertop and plugging it in. Add the chicken breasts directly into the slow cooker, ensuring they lay flat and evenly spaced.
  • Next, pour in the pepperoncini juice, letting it cascade evenly over the chicken. Then, add the pepperoncini peppers on or around the chicken pieces.
  • Sprinkle both packets of seasonings evenly over the chicken, starting with the ranch seasoning followed by the au jus seasoning.
  • Take the butter and cut it into chunks. Dot these buttery pieces on top of the seasoned chicken.
  • Cover the slow cooker with the lid securely. Set your slow cooker to high and cook for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 to 8 hours.
  • Once the cooking time is complete, remove the lid and carefully shred the chicken with two forks right in the cooker.

Notes

Use fresh, boneless chicken breasts for the best texture and flavor. Adjust seasoning amounts according to personal taste. This dish reheats wonderfully, making it perfect for leftovers.
