Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing your fresh or frozen chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker. Pour the zesty pepperoncini juice over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Set your slow cooker to high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
  2. Sprinkle ranch seasoning evenly over the chicken and nestle the pepperoncini peppers around it.
  3. Cut butter into small pieces and dot them atop the seasoned chicken.
  4. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and let it cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours until tender.
  5. Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred it into bite-sized pieces before returning it to the sauce.
