Crock Pot Mississippi Chicken has just 5 ingredients and plenty of spicy kick. I love to serve it on toasted buns with melted provolone cheese for an easy meal.
Quick and Easy Slow Cooker Recipe
If you love the peppery kick of pepperoncini peppers, this easy slow cooker meal will be a favorite. It’s easy to make for gameday or a weeknight meal and leftovers keep wonderfully.
There’s only about 5 minutes of prep time needed to make this Mississippi Chicken. It’s a dump and go recipe and great for the busy back to school season.
How To Make
To make it, combine 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a 6-quart slow cooker with a packet of Ranch seasoning, a packet of Au Jus Gravy Mix, a stick of unsalted butter and about 10-12 pepperoncini peppers. It will need 5-6 hours on LOW to cook, after which it will easily shred with 2 forks.
You won’t believe how wonderfully juicy and tender the chicken is!
The pepperoncini peppers give this chicken a nice spicy kick, but it’s definitely not over-spicy.
Tips For Making Crock Pot Mississippi Chicken
- Chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts.
- You can thicken up the gravy with a little cornstarch and serve the extra gravy over mashed potatoes. So good!
- You can use frozen chicken breasts and cook on LOW for 8 hours. This is great if you are going to be gone all day.
How To Serve
This recipe makes a great sandwich. I cut open a sub roll, line it with provolone cheese and stick it in the toaster oven until crispy. Also is delicious served over white rice or mashed potatoes.

I just made this for dinner tonight. We loved it. As my son said, this s is definitely a do over. The only issue I had was I was expecting more gravy. I thickened it per the instructions and returned the meat to the pot. The next time I think I’ll keep the meat and gravy separate. Any pointers on getting more gravy?
So easy and so delicious with mashed potatoes.
I currently have all the ingredients except the ranch packet; I used whatever seasoning made locally where I live. I am kind of hesitant without putting water in the crock pot. But going with your recipe. Great for a different meal for chicken. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely delicious. Not too spicy, just enough kick. Will make this often! Thank You !
So happy you enjoyed it Linda!
I made this for the first time today and am eager to get home and try it! I plan on serving with homemade mashed potatoes and a salad. This is a new recipe to my family in Texas 🙂 Feeding a family of 5 (3 boys age 3,9 & 12)
Any thoughts on using yellow banana peppers instead of pepperoncinis? No spice at all would good for the kiddos!
