Slow Cooker Mississippi Chicken is a 5-ingredient dump-and-go crockpot recipe made with chicken breasts, ranch seasoning, au jus gravy, butter, and peperoncini peppers. It’s juicy, flavorful, and perfect for busy weeknights or meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter
  • 56 whole peperoncini peppers
  • Optional: 1–2 tablespoons peperoncini juice for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker in a single layer.
  2. Sprinkle ranch dressing mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the chicken.
  3. Top with slices of butter and place peperoncini peppers on top.
  4. Add peperoncini juice if desired for more tang or spice.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours without removing the lid.
  6. Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and stir to combine with the juices.
  7. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, buns, or in wraps.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for extra moisture.
  • Use unsalted butter and low-sodium seasoning packets to reduce salt content.
  • Freeze leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat gently to avoid drying out the chicken.
  • Serving ideas include sandwiches, sliders, rice bowls, or lettuce wraps for keto.
