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’ve made this dish several times and it is really easy and delicious. I removed the stems from the peppers, but I noticed they weren’t removed in the picture. Does it make a difference?
thoughts on switching out pepperchinis with chipolte peppers?
Can we use onion Lipton soup instead of aus gravy
Do you think it would be an issue to prep all of these ingredients as is the night before cooking or would you recommend prepping and cooking immediately after?
Before serving, I remove the pepperocini, take off the stems, put them in the food processor & then add them back to the sauce.
I made this a few months ago and it was sooo delicious! The juice was amazing and chicken tender. Planning on making it again in a day or 2. Thank you!
Holy cow. This is yummy. No liquid necessary. Great recipe for the SuperBowl! Thank you!
Anybody substitute the ranch for another mix? Im not really keen on ranch
Thanks
I have a friend who uses Italian dressing mix, or Italian blend seasoning.
Do I need to put any liquid in it while it’s cooking?
I just made it. No need to add liquid. I used 2 breasts and 3 thighs. Tortillas and provolone…….delicious.
This sounds good. I want to cook in my Instant pot. Any advice on added liquid and cook time? Always appreciate IP instructions for your recipes. Thanx!
