An easy, creamy slow cooker chicken recipe perfect for busy weeknights. Made with simple pantry staples, it delivers juicy chicken in a rich, tangy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 packet (1/4 cup / 30g) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (1/4 cup / 30g) Au Jus gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup (115g, 1 stick) butter, cold
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) pepperoncini peppers with juice
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  1. Lay the chicken thighs or breasts in a single layer in the slow cooker. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Evenly sprinkle the ranch seasoning and Au Jus gravy mix over the chicken. Do not stir.
  3. Slice the cold butter into pats and scatter over the chicken. Add the pepperoncini peppers and pour the juice over everything.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, add the softened cream cheese to the slow cooker and gently stir until fully melted and creamy.
  6. Remove the chicken and shred it with tongs or forks directly in the slow cooker. Stir the shredded chicken back into the sauce and serve.

Notes

[‘Do not stir the dry seasoning mixes before cooking to avoid grainy sauce.’, ‘Use cold butter in pats to enrich the sauce slowly.’, ‘Soften cream cheese before adding to avoid lumps.’, ‘Save and spoon extra sauce over rice or veggies.’, ‘Adjust cooking time if using chicken breasts to avoid drying out.’, ‘For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with dairy-free cream cheese and butter with coconut oil.’, ‘Can be made in a Dutch oven on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours with occasional stirring.’]
