Ingredients:
- 3–4 chicken breasts, (boneless, skinless)
- 1 medium onion, (diced)
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 8–10 pepperoncini peppers
- ¾ cup juice from pepperoncini
- ½ cup butter, (sliced)
- Spray a large crock pot with a non-stick cooking spray or use a crock pot liner. This will help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Place onion first and then add the chicken breasts. Layering the ingredients in this order helps distribute flavors evenly.
- Sprinkle both packets over the chicken. Evenly coat the chicken with the au jus and ranch mixes for rich flavor.
- Add pepperoncini, place pads of butter randomly on top, and then pour the juice over the chicken. These ingredients add layers of complexity to the dish.
- Cover and cook on high for 4-5 or low for 6-7 hours. Cooking times may vary based on your crockpot, so check for doneness before serving.
