Pepperoncini Chicken
8-9 chicken tenders
1 packet ranch dressing mix
1 packet au jus gravy mix
1/4 cup butter
about 6 pepperoncini peppers
1/2-1 cup Pepperoncini Juice (about 1/2 of the jar)
Place the chicken in the crock pot. Pour the pepperoncini juice from the jar over the chicken. Sprinkle the ranch powder and the au jus powder over the chicken. Place the butter on top. Scatter the pepperoncinis over the chicken.
Cook in crock pot on low for about 5 1/2 hours or on high 3 1/2 hours or in an Instant Pot for 25 minutes.
It will be so tender it will want to fall apart. At that point you can turn off the crock pot. Shred the meat using two forks. Then pour back in as much of the drippings as you like. That juice has a lot of flavor, so don't be shy with it. You could also make a gravy with it.
Serve over mashed potatoes or rice.
(Clover Note: Our favorite was making this meal in the instant pot with carrots and potatoes. It is also really tasty to make mashed potatoes using the drippings!)
