Description
Mississippi Chicken is a slow-cooked dish that combines chicken, au jus mix, ranch dressing, and pepperoncini for a creamy, tangy flavor that’s easy to prepare and loved by all.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 packet au jus mix (or beef gravy mix)
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (one large stick)
- 6–8 pepperoncini peppers (with some juice)
- Optional: 1/4 cup water or chicken broth for extra sauce
Instructions
- Place chicken at the bottom of the crockpot.
- Sprinkle the au jus packet and ranch mix evenly over the chicken.
- Add pepperoncini and pour a few peppers’ juice on top.
- Lay the butter on top so it slowly melts across the meat.
- Cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours.
- Shred the chicken with forks and stir everything together.
Notes
For a crisp finish, transfer shredded chicken to a baking dish and broil for 2-3 minutes. Adjust spice levels with jalapeños or add cream cheese for a richer sauce.
