Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 1-ounce packet dry ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)
- 1 cup drained and sliced pepperoncini peppers
- 1/4 cup juice from pepper jar
- 4 tablespoons sliced unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Season the chicken with the ranch mix and place it at the bottom of a medium-sized Dutch oven.
- Add the pepperoncini slices and pour in 1/4 cup of the reserved pepper juice. Place the butter slices on top and pour in 1/4 cup water.
- Cover the Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid, and bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is tender and easily shredded with a fork, about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should show 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when inserted into the center of the chicken.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before shredding it with two forks.
