Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix 1 oz
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix 1 oz
  • 1/2 cup butter 1 stick
  • 6-8 pepperoncini peppers whole
  • 2 tbsp pepperoncini juice from the jar

Instructions

  • Load the crockpot: Place the chicken in the crockpot and sprinkle the ranch seasoning and au jus mix evenly over the top.
  • Add the butter and peppers: Place the butter on top of the chicken and scatter the pepperoncini peppers around it. Pour the pepperoncini juice over everything.
  • Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken reaches 165°F and shreds easily.
  • Shred: Shred the chicken right in the crockpot with two forks and stir it through the buttery pan juices.

Notes

This is the real, specific Mississippi combination: ranch + au jus mix + butter + pepperoncini together, not a loose approximation. Don't skip the pepperoncini brine.
