Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2-3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 jar pepperoncini peppers with juice
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix keto-friendly preferred
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice from the jar
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth optional

Equipment

  • Crockpot / Slow Cooker
  • Forks

Method
 

  1. Spray the inside of your slow cooker with avocado or olive oil spray for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the crockpot. Overlapping slightly is okay.
  3. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the chicken. Add garlic powder and a pinch of black pepper if desired.
  4. Place 6–8 whole pepperoncini peppers on top of the chicken and pour 1/4 cup of the jar’s juice over the top.
  5. Place the butter on top of the chicken and peppers. Leave as a block or slice into pats for easier melting.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken shreds easily with a fork.
  7. Shred the chicken directly in the pot using two forks. Stir to combine with the sauce.
  8. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives before serving for garnish.

Notes

If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk in a pinch of xanthan gum after shredding and let sit for 15 minutes. For dairy-free, substitute butter with ghee or olive oil. Serve on cauliflower rice, lettuce wraps, or low-carb tortillas for variety.
