Equipment

  • Slow cooker

Ingredients
  

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 12 pepperoncini peppers
  • 0.25 cup juice from the jar of pepperoncini
  • 1 ounce packet ranch seasoning mix I use Hidden Valley
  • 1 ounce packet au jus gravy mix
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Add the chicken breasts to your slow cooker. Pour in the pepperoncini juice and then add the peppers on/around the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken with the ranch and au jus seasoning, and then place the butter on top. Cover and cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.
  • Shred the chicken with two forks, toss with the sauce, then serve and enjoy.

Notes

Chicken breasts can dry out, so if you're planning on cooking it for the full 8 hours, you may want to swap with boneless skinless chicken thighs. This recipe is quite salty, so be sure to use unsalted butter and taste before adding any extra salt.
