Tips for the Best Crockpot Mississippi Chicken:
- Use Thighs for Extra Juiciness โ While chicken breasts work well, boneless, skinless chicken thighs will add more moisture and flavor to the dish.
- Control the Saltiness โ Since ranch and au jus mixes contain salt, taste before adding extra salt to avoid overpowering the dish.
- Make it a Full Meal โ Serve over buttery mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or toasted sandwich buns, and pair with a side of roasted vegetables for aย completeย meal.
