Slow Cooker Mississippi Chicken and Potatoes
One of the most common roast recipes I make is Mississippi Roast, yet to change things up one day I just substituted the beef for the chicken. Also because my oldest has decided {for now?} not to eat red meat. So I’ve been trying to replace some of my favourite red meat recipes with chicken or turkey.
So what does it mean to ‘Mississippi’ a meat?
As you could have guessed, the recipe originates from Mississippi. The traditional way is using butter, pepperoncini peppers and ranch dressing mix to make a sassy flavour combination. While it IS tasty beyond belief, my kids find it too spicy for their liking, so I have adapted my way to Mississippi-cook by leaving out the peppers and adding in some au jus instead.
My Mississippi chicken recipe is actually a meal in one and cooked the easiest way possible, because, chaotic life and all. It’s an all-in-one meal – Slow Cooker Mississippi Chicken and Potatoes!
Aside from the shockingly beautiful taste of this recipe, I love it because it’s a TRUE slow cooker meal – You can toss everything in and forget about it until dinnertime. Serve with a side salad or a bun if you wish – and voila!
With only 6 ingredients {and I count the half-cup of water in this total}, this recipe makes one awesome dinner. You also get leftover love with this recipe – it’s so good the next day. Usually we use the leftovers for lunch the next day, Mississippi chicken in a bun, served with pickles. YUM!
