Description

A foolproof crockpot chicken recipe featuring a combination of ranch dressing mix, au jus gravy mix, tangy peperoncini peppers, and butter. The result is tender, savory chicken that’s a lifesaver for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter
  • 6 peperoncini peppers

Instructions

  • Add the chicken breasts to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Sprinkle the au jus gravy mix and ranch dressing mix evenly over the chicken.
  • Place the stick of butter on top of the chicken.
  • Arrange the 6 peperoncini peppers around the butter.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours, or until the chicken is fork-tender.
  • Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the sauce before serving.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute chicken thighs (and consider cutting the butter in half).
  • No extra liquid is needed; the chicken will release its own juices.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
