How To Make
To make crockpot Mississippi Chicken, start by spraying a crockpot with cooking spray. Season 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts with a little bit of black pepper. Season Chicken with 1 TBSP each of an Aus Ju Gravy Packet and a Ranch seasoning packet. Mississippi Chicken can end up on the salty side if too much of the seasonings are used, so I like to use 1 TBSP of each to keep the sodium content lower.
Next, add minced garlic and some pepperoncinis. I also like to add a small splash of the juice from the jar of the pepperoncinis. Top the chicken with a few pats of thinly sliced butter.
This easy dinner recipe will cook on low for about 4-6 hours. I like to flip the chicken breasts over in the crockpot about half way through cooking to make sure both sides get covered in the juices from the crockpot. In my crockpot it takes about 4 hours for the chicken to be fully cooked and temp at 165 degrees.
Shred chicken using two forks or a hand held mixer. I like to spread some mayo or butter on the bead and toast it in a skillet.
My favorite bread for recipes like this is Jimmy John’s bread. Jimmy Johns sells day old bread for about 50 cents a loaf (if they still have any left). If they don’t I just buy the fresh bread.
After toasting the bread, add the Mississippi Chicken, some sliced cheese, and put it in the oven under broil just long enough to melt the cheese. For the cheese, I used swiss because it is what I had at the time. Sliced provolone, mozzarella, or Pepper Jack would also be good options!
