Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 ounce packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 ounce packet au jus gravy mix
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ cup butter sliced into 8 squares
  • ½ cup pepperoncini peppers sliced
  • 1 tablespoon pepperoncini pepper liquid

Instructions

  • Add the chicken breast to the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker and pour chicken broth over the top.
  • Sprinkle the chicken with ranch seasoning, gravy mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Then, top with butter, pepperoncinis, and pepperoncini liquid.
  • Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours.
  • Remove the chicken and shred it with two forks. Then add it back into the gravy and mix until coated.
  • Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or on a bun. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use evenly sized chicken breasts so they cook uniformly and shred easily.
  • Chicken thighs work best for longer cook times and helps the chicken stay tender and juicy. 
  • Prefer a milder flavor? Use fewer pepperoncinis. Want more kick? Add extra juice and pepperoncinis.
  • Don’t skip the pepperoncini liquid; it keeps the chicken moist and adds signature tang.
  • Gently shred the chicken with two forks, then mix it back into the sauce for maximum flavor.
  • Layer the butter on top of the chicken so it melts evenly into the sauce.
