How to Make Mississippi Chicken

So like I mentioned before, this recipe is really, really simple. It should only take about 5 minutes to prepare, and the crockpot will cook for about 4 hours tops. 

Now let's make Mississippi chicken!

Step 1: Add the Ingredients

First, put the boneless skinless chicken breasts, gravy mix, ranch dressing mix, salted butter, and pepperoncini to a crockpot or slow cooker. 

Step 2: Cook and Shred Chicken

Next, you're going to cook the chicken on low for about 3-4 hours or until it's fork tender.

Once the chicken is cooked, shred the chicken breasts using two forks.

Now, let the chicken cook in the juices a bit longer or until the juice thickens to a gravy consistency.

Step 3: Serve

Finally, the shredded chicken on a plate with your desired sides. Then you can either slice the pepperoncini or leave it whole to eat with the shredded chicken.

And to add a little more flavor, make sure to use the cooking juice to act like gravy and pour it over everything.

Serve and enjoy!

How to store Mississippi Chicken

As I mentioned, this Missippi chicken is delicious leftover. And it makes 4 servings, so unless you're having it for a big family dinner, you should have leftovers.

This Mississippi chicken is delicious cold by itself or eaten as a sandwich. And it's also really good reheated.

To heat, a great way is to lay the shredded chicken out on a baking sheet and heat it in the oven at 400°F for about 10 minutes or until it reaches your desired temperature.
