Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by placing the 2 pounds of skinless, boneless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Ensure the pieces are arranged in a single layer for optimal cooking.
Sprinkle the 1 oz packet of ranch dressing seasoning and the 1 oz packet of dry au jus gravy mix evenly over the chicken.
Cut the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter into small squares and scatter them on top of the seasoned chicken.
Add 1 cup of sliced and drained pepperoncini peppers over the chicken and include the 1/4 cup of pepper juice, drizzling it over the top.
Cover your slow cooker and set it to cook on high for about 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker.
