The baked + chicken version of the amazing Slow Cooker Mississippi Beef Roast: it’s just as delightful!

Our family loves the Slow Cooker Mississippi Beef Roast. 

It’s regularly included in my MyFreezEasy freezer meal preps in my kitchen. It is so simple to prep and so delicious. 

I decided to try it as a Chicken Bake vs a shredded chicken made in the slow cooker. And while I know a shredded mississippi chicken would be amazing, I really loved this baked version. 

The prep goes like this: 

  • Chicken breasts into baking dish. 
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle dry ranch dressing mix onto the chicken
  • Sprinkle sliced pepperoncini peppers on top.
  • Add a thin pad of butter onto each chicken breast.
  • Bake. 
  • Enjoy. 🙂
