This is such a good recipe and easy since it’s made in the slow cooker.

Mississippi Chicken

2 pounds chicken breasts boneless and skinless

1-ounce packet au jus mix

1-ounce packet ranch seasoning

2 tablespoons butter sliced into pats

6 pepperoncini peppers or sliced banana peppers

Add the chicken to the slow cooker.

Sprinkle on the au jus mix, and ranch seasoning, then top with butter and pepperoncini.

Cook on low for 3 hours, or on high for 1-1/2 or 2 hours. When the chicken is ready, check for doneness.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then shred it while it’s still warm.

Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta or rice.
