How To Make Mississippi Chicken In The Slow Cooker

No need to plan on takeout when faced with a crazy day when all it takes is two minutes to throw together a mouthwatering one-pot chicken dump dinner in the morning! Additionally, takeout can’t compare to a wholesome slow cooker chicken recipe ready to go when you walk in the door after a long day. So, pull out your Crock Pot, and let’s start dumping! (That means no mixing!)

When you are making this recipe, you’ll want to use the full recipe at the bottom of the page.

1. Throw the chicken breasts in the crock pot and sprinkle the dry seasoning packets evenly on top. 
2. Dump the pepperoncini peppers and juice around the chicken, and add the butter. 
3. Set the slow cooker chicken on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. 
4. Shred pepperoncini chicken with easy meat claws or two forks. (Maybe, this stuff wants to fall apart!)
5. Serve the tender, savory, seasoned chicken with sauce from the slow cooker and pepperoncini on the side

Recipe Notes & Tips

Above all…….DON’T MIX ANYTHING!! Mississippi Chicken in a crock pot is a true dump-it-and-leave-it slow cooker recipe!

• Unlike its fraternal twin, Mississippi Pot Roast, it takes less time to cook and tenderize chicken breast, so don’t skip out on the butter to keep it moist.
• You can use olive oil if you like instead of butter.
• Pepporicinis are easy to find at the grocery in the condiment aisle by the pickles.
• If you make your own homemade ranch, Mississippi chicken uses two tablespoons of dry ranch mix.
• A brown gravy packet will make the pepperoncini chicken sauce a bit thicker than the au jus, but I’ve made it both ways, and you won’t go wrong with either.
• Keep an eye on the salt content for those with dietary issues. You may have to cut down on the pepperoncini juice. Slicing the peppers into wheels and using less may help as well.
• If you want your Mississippi chicken recipe to have a thicker gravy/sauce, add a cornstarch slurry when you take the chicken out to shred. Stir in a teaspoon and allow the cornstarch to work its magic for a few minutes, then add more until the gravy is as thick as you want.
