Scale
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 ounce)
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix (about 1 ounce)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 6–8 pepperoncini peppers
- 2 tablespoons pepperoncini juice
Instructions
- Place the chicken in the slow cooker: Put the chicken in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker.
- Season the chicken: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning and au jus gravy mix evenly over the chicken.
- Add the remaining ingredients: Place the stick of butter on top of the seasoned chicken, then add the pepperoncini peppers and drizzle in the pepperoncini juice.
- Cook the chicken: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until the chicken is tender and shreds easily.
- Shred and serve: Shred the chicken in the slow cooker using two forks, mixing it with the juices and peppers. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, or sandwich buns.
Notes
- Chicken thighs are extra juicy, but chicken breasts work well too.
- For a lighter version, use half the butter or substitute with light butter.
- Add more pepperoncini for a spicier flavor, or stir in a splash of hot sauce for heat.
