Slow Cooker Mississippi Chicken
1. Mississippi Chicken
This recipe requires only 5 ingredients. I have about 12 small chicken thighs; we will use 12 whole pepperoncini peppers, ½ cup of the pepperoncini brine; 2 teaspoons of Roast Beef Better Than Bouillon; 1 packet of Ranch Seasoning, and 1 stick of unsalted butter.
Start by whisking the bouillon in the pepperoncini brine until it’s dissolved. Set that aside.
Nestle the chicken thighs in a single layer in the pot of the slow cooker. Pour the bouillon/pepperoncini brine over the chicken. Toss the peppers in, then sprinkle the Ranch seasoning over the top. Lastly, add the butter pieces.
Cover and set the slow cooker to high for 3 hours.
At the end of cooking time, Transfer the chicken thighs to a cutting board and use a fork and knife to cut and gently shred the chicken, then add it back to the pot with the sauce and stir the shredded chicken into the sauce.
You can serve it however you like, over rice, potatoes, or between buns with slaw for a great pulled chicken sandwich.
The chicken is so flavorfu! You have the zing of Ranch seasoning and a little heat from the pepperoncini peppers. The roast beef bouillon gives it body and rounds out the rich flavor. This recipe is super simple and hands off, it’s a great recipe – especially for a group. I hope you give Mississippi Chicken a try! Take care and be well, xo Kelly
