Ingredients
3–4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1 (1 ounce) packet ranch seasoning mix
1 (1 ounce) packet au jus gravy mix
1/2 cup butter, cut into slices
1 cup pepperoncini peppers, drained, plus some juice (optional)
Instructions
Place chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the chicken.
Arrange the butter slices over the top of the chicken and seasoning mixes.
Add the drained pepperoncini peppers around and on top of the chicken.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks, allowing it to soak up the sauce.
Serve hot.
Notes
For a thinner sauce, you can add a tablespoon or two of the pepperoncini juice. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or with rolls. This recipe is also great for sandwiches.
