- 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
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!
- 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.
