Crock Pot Mississippi Chicken Recipe


  • Author: David

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 lbs boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (or olive oil)
  • 1/2 cup pepperoncini peppers (jarred, sliced)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken thighs in the Crock Pot. Arrange the chicken thighs at the bottom of your slow cooker to ensure even cooking.
  2. Sprinkle the ranch and au jus mix evenly over the chicken. Distribute the seasoning mixes evenly to coat the chicken thoroughly, enhancing the flavor profile of the dish.
  3. Add the butter (or olive oil) on top. Place the butter on top of the chicken. As it melts, it will infuse the chicken with rich, buttery goodness. For a healthier alternative, you can use olive oil instead.
  4. Scatter the pepperoncini peppers over everything. Distribute the sliced pepperoncini peppers evenly over the chicken. These peppers add a tangy and slightly spicy kick that elevates the dish.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until chicken is tender. Depending on your schedule, choose the appropriate cooking time. The slow cooking process ensures that the chicken becomes tender and absorbs all the flavors.
  6. Shred the chicken with two forks and mix everything together before serving. Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken, mixing it with the juices and peppers. This step ensures every bite is flavorful and moist.
  7. Garnish with parsley if desired. For a pop of color and added freshness, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
