Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix 1 ounce or 1.5 tablespoons
  • 1/3 cup salted butter
  • 10 pepperoncini peppers
  • 3 tablespoons pepperoncini juice

Instructions

  • Prep the crockpot with non stick spray or a liner if desired.
  • Place the chicken in the crockpot.
  • Sprinkle the Ranch seasoning over the chicken.
  • Place the butter on top of the chicken. It's best to leave the butter in one stick instead of chopping it up.
  • Add the peppers and pepper juice.
  • Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
  • Remove the lid and shred the chicken with 2 forks.
  • Serve as desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • you can use chicken breast or chicken thighs.
  • the peppers have stems on them. Even though they “soften” when cooked, if they are large you might want to remove them before putting the peppers on the chicken.
  • if the gravy is too thin, thicken it up with some cornstarch. It’s great on mashed potatoes!
  • make it even easier with frozen chicken breasts. Just cook on low for 8 hours.
  • if you like it richer, you can use a whole stick of butter 😉
  • you can use less butter if you wish. If you use thighs, you don’t need to use butter at all.
  • use a crockpot liner or easier clean up.
  • leftovers (if you have any) are great in tacos, quesadillas, on slider buns, and over noodles!
  • I used frozen chicken breasts and it cooked for the same amount of time.
