Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)

Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  • Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot in a single layer.

Step 2: Add Seasonings

  • Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the chicken.

Step 3: Add Butter

  • Cut the butter into small pieces and place them on top of the chicken and seasonings.

Step 4: Slow Cook

  • Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fork-tender and shreds easily.

Step 5: Shred and Serve

  • Shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks and stir it into the flavorful sauce.
  • Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or in a sandwich for a delicious and comforting meal.

Cooking Notes

  • For Extra Flavor: Add sliced pepperoncini peppers or a splash of the juice for a tangy kick.
  • Make it Creamier: Stir in ½ cup of cream cheese at the end of cooking for a creamy twist.
  • Bone-In Chicken Option: You can use bone-in, skinless chicken thighs or drumsticks for an even juicier dish—just remove the bones before shredding.

Serving Suggestions

  • Over Mashed Potatoes: Let the buttery sauce soak into fluffy mashed potatoes.
  • With Rice: A simple way to enjoy the dish while soaking up all the delicious flavors.
  • In a Sandwich: Serve on toasted buns with pickles and melted cheese for a Mississippi Chicken Sandwich.
  • With Roasted Veggies: Pair it with roasted green beans, asparagus, or carrots for a balanced meal.

Tips

  1. Meal Prep Friendly: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  2. Use a Slow Cooker Liner: For easy cleanup, use a disposable slow cooker liner.
  3. Don’t Overcook: If cooking on high, check after 3 hours to prevent drying out.
