Juicy, tender shredded chicken slow-cooked with ranch, au jus, pepperoncini, and finished with a rich gravy, all piled onto soft slider buns. This easy, crowd-pleasing recipe is perfect for busy weeknights, parties, or casual family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs)
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (1 oz)
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix (1 oz)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 6–8 pepperoncini peppers, plus 2 tbsp brine
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, sliced
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for gravy)
  • 2 tbsp cold water (for cornstarch slurry)
  • 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
  • Optional: sliced provolone or mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot and pat dry if needed.
  2. Sprinkle ranch seasoning mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the chicken.
  3. Add pepperoncini peppers and a splash (about 2 tbsp) of their brine on top. Dot with sliced butter. Pour chicken broth around the chicken (not directly on top).
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until chicken is fall-apart tender.
  5. Shred the chicken in the crockpot using two forks or tongs. Stir to combine with juices and pepperoncini.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with cold water to make a slurry. Pour into the crockpot, stir, then cover and cook on HIGH for 10-15 minutes to thicken the gravy.
  7. Optional: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place slider buns cut-side up on a baking sheet and toast for 3-5 minutes.
  8. Spoon shredded chicken and gravy onto each bun bottom. Top with cheese if desired, then add the bun tops.
  9. Serve warm, with extra gravy on the side if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, use GF ranch and gravy packets and GF buns. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and cheese or omit cheese. Toasting buns helps prevent sogginess. Adjust gravy thickness by adding more cornstarch slurry if desired. Leftover chicken and gravy freeze well for up to 2 months.
