Tips for the Best Crockpot Mississippi Chicken:

  1. Use Thighs for Extra Juiciness โ€“ While chicken breasts work well, boneless, skinless chicken thighs will add more moisture and flavor to the dish.
  2. Control the Saltiness โ€“ Since ranch and au jus mixes contain salt, taste before adding extra salt to avoid overpowering the dish.
  3. 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.
