Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • cup ½ butter 1 stick
  • 6 –10 whole pepperoncini peppers
  • cup Optional: ¼pepperoncini juice

Method
 

  1. Layer the Chicken Place chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot in a single layer. Don’t stack if you can help it.
  2. Add the Seasonings Sprinkle the ranch mix and au jus mix evenly over the chicken.
  3. Butter on Top Place the stick of butter right on top. No need to melt it first.
  4. Add Pepperoncini Scatter the whole peppers around the chicken. Pour in a little of the juice if you like extra tang.
  5. Cook Low and Slow Cook on LOW for 6–8 hours. Or HIGH for 3–4 hours. Low is better. More tender. More forgiving.
  6. Shred and Stir Once the chicken is fork-tender, shred it directly in the pot. Stir into the buttery juices. That’s dinner.
