Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of your 6-quart slow cooker. Pour the low sodium chicken broth evenly over the chicken, ensuring they are well-covered.
  2. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix, au jus gravy mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika generously over the chicken.
  3. Slice the butter into small pieces and scatter it over the seasoned chicken. Add the pepperoncini peppers and pour in the pepperoncini liquid.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on High for 3-4 hours or Low for 6-7 hours.
  5. Carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker using tongs. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker, stirring gently to coat the meat in the rich gravy. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or on buns.
