Description

Hearty Mississippi Chicken Sliders bring robust ranch and pepperoncini flavors to a classic slow cooker comfort meal. Shredded chicken nestled in buttery rolls creates an irresistible sandwich perfect for game day gatherings or casual weekend dining you’ll savor.


Ingredients

Scale

Protein:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Seasonings and Mixes:

  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix

Accompaniments and Additions:

  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, sliced
  • 68 pepperoncini peppers
  • 12 slider buns

Instructions

  1. Nestle whole chicken breasts into the crock pot, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  2. Generously dust ranch seasoning and au jus gravy mix across the chicken surface for comprehensive flavor infusion.
  3. Strategically place butter slices atop the seasoned chicken, then scatter pepperoncini peppers throughout the pot.
  4. Secure the crock pot lid and slow cook on low temperature for 6-8 hours or accelerate the process on high heat for 3-4 hours until chicken becomes fork-tender.
  5. Using two forks, meticulously shred the cooked chicken directly within the cooking liquid, allowing the meat to absorb maximum flavor and moisture.
  6. Optional: Lightly toast slider buns to enhance their texture and prevent sogginess.
  7. Construct sliders by layering the succulent shredded chicken mixture onto prepared buns, ensuring each sandwich receives an abundant portion of the aromatic filling.
  8. Serve immediately while the chicken remains warm and juices are fresh, providing a delectable dining experience.

Notes

  • Make chicken extra tender by using boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts for richer flavor and more moisture.
  • Reduce sodium content by choosing low-sodium ranch and au jus seasoning mixes, perfect for heart-healthy diets.
  • Customize heat levels by adjusting pepperoncini quantity or swapping with mild banana peppers for sensitive palates.
  • Freeze leftover shredded chicken in individual portions for quick future meals like tacos, salads, or quick lunch sandwiches.
