Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 6 pieces pepperoncini peppers

Instructions
Place the chicken breasts into the bottom of a slow cooker in an even layer.
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the chicken.
Place the butter on top of the chicken breasts, spreading it out across the pieces.
Scatter the pepperoncini peppers over the chicken, and pour the pepperoncini juice into the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it on low heat. Let the chicken cook for 4-5 hours, or until it is tender and easily shred with a fork.
