Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

4–6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
1 packet au jus gravy mix
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
6–8 whole pepperoncini peppers
1–2 tablespoons pepperoncini juice (optional)

Optional for Serving

Sandwich buns
Mashed potatoes
Rice or noodles
Roasted vegetables

Instructions

Place Chicken in Crock Pot
Arrange the chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker.
Add Seasonings
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the chicken.
Top with Butter and Peppers
Place the stick of butter on top of the chicken. Add the pepperoncini peppers and optional pepperoncini juice for extra flavor.
Cook Until Tender
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 4 hours, until chicken is fork-tender.
Shred and Serve
Shred the chicken using two forks right in the slow cooker. Stir to coat in the juices and serve hot.

Notes

Use chicken thighs for a richer, juicier result. You can make this with frozen chicken—just increase the cook time slightly. Serve leftovers on buns, over rice, or in tacos for an easy second meal.
