Description

Discover how to make the mouth-watering Mississippi Chicken with simple ingredients. Perfect for easy dinners, crockpot meals, or make-ahead freezer meal ideas!


Ingredients

Scale

34 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts

1 pkg Au Jus Gravy Mix

1 pkg (or 3 TBS) Ranch Dressing Mix

810 Pepperoncini Peppers

3/4 C Juice from the Jar

1/2 C Butter

Optional: Double the sauce. Trust me, you’ll want extra to drizzle over mashed potatoes!


Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven

Set your oven to 325°F. If you’re using a crockpot, skip this step.

2. Mix the Sauce

Grab a small mixing bowl and combine:

  • Pepperoncini juice
  • Au jus gravy mix
  • Ranch dressing mix

Give it a quick stir until fully blended—it’s already smelling like dinnertime magic.

3. Assemble in a Dutch Oven

Place your chicken breasts into a Dutch oven (or crockpot) and scatter the pepperoncini peppers all around. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken.

Here’s a little trick I swear by—use tongs or a fork to lift the chicken slightly so the flavorful sauce coats every inch.

4. Add Butter

Layer slices of butter on top of the chicken. This ensures the chicken stays tender and gives the sauce a rich, velvety texture.

5. Bake or Slow Cook

  • Dutch Oven: Cover it with a tight-fitting lid and bake for 1 hour at 325°F.
  • Crockpot: Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours.

6. Serve and Enjoy!

Pair Mississippi Chicken with creamy mashed potatoes and green beans for a comforting meal. Spoon the extra sauce over the mashed potatoes for an instant gravy upgrade.
