This Mississippi chicken is fall-off the bone, easy to prep, and incredibly flavorful. This is a family favorite tried and true crockpot recipe. It’s super simple, involves 4 ingredients and comes out perfect every time!

This recipe is a spin off of the infamous Mississippi Pot Roast. Most versions of this dish have butter in them, while free to add if you are sticking with a more keto-ish diet, chicken thighs make this the best of both worlds because they themselves offer a rich buttery taste and protein. We love ButcherBox chicken thighs which are pre-packaged bone-in skin-on chicken thighs; so incredibly flavorful!

Ingredients for slow cooker mississippi chicken

Here’s what we are working with for this recipe:

  • chicken thighs – we prefer bone-in for that extra punch of flavor, but you can also choose to debone prior to cooking. If chicken thighs are just not your thing, you can use chicken breasts instead for this recipe.
  • pepperoncinis – sliced or whole, you can’t go wrong! We used a whole jar of these for our recipe, but if you prefer less eat, you can choose to add less pepperoncinis to your crockpot Mississippi chicken recipe.
  • ranch packet seasoning – all the flavor you need in one little packet; we love using ranch dip seasoning packets in our crockpot meals!
  • onion soup and dip packet mix – if we are making a crockpot recipe, chances are pretty high that this is included along with the ranch packet! So much flavor!

That’s it! 4 ingredients, plus 1/2 cup of the pepperoncini juice and you are in the land of deliciousness!

I love to serve our crockpot Mississippi chicken with egg noodles because they soak up the sauce perfectly.

How to make crockpot Mississippi chicken

  1. Add the chicken to the crockpot and sprinkle over the ranch seasoning mix, onion soup mix, pepperoncinis and juice. If you do not prefer the heat, I would recommend replacing the juice with 1/2 cup water.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 4 hours
  3. Serve the chicken thighs whole or shredded with pepperoncinis  over your choice of side.

What can I serve with crockpot Mississippi chicken?

For the ultimate low carb option, I would highly recommend serving with loaded mashed cauliflower. It is a little piece of heaven in every single bite with this dynamic duo.

I also love to serve our crockpot Mississippi chicken with green beans and egg noodles. The green beans add a nice texture to the mix while the egg noodles let all the goodness soak up into one delicious spoonful.
