Pepperoncini Chicken


So, while looking for new recipes, I ran across this recipe. I thought it sounded interesting....so, why not try it. The original recipe called for beef, but i am sure you can use beef, pork or chicken. I am sure you could substitute banana pepper rings in place of pepperoncini's. I served the chicken mix on onion rolls with some tater tots & green bean fries. We also thought it need some cheese to balance out the sandwich.

Serves 4-6

1.5-2 Pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Packet Hidden Valley Ranch Dry Dressing Mix
16 oz jar Pepperoncini- Diced; Reserve Liquid
Sliced cheese of your choice; swiss, colby, cheddar (optional)

Directions:

Place chicken breasts, diced pepperoncinis, some of the pepperoncini juice (about half of what is in the jar) and the ranch packet in slow cooker. Turn to low; cook for 4 to 5 hours. Drain juice and reserve. Shred chicken with a fork and add reserved juice as desired. Serve as sandwiches on a nice, fresh bun or roll.
