This Baked Mississippi Chicken recipe is low on carbs but BIG on flavor with Au Jus and ranch seasoning mix coating the chicken and pepperoncini topping it all off.
Not too long ago I shared our recipe for our Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast, which is one of my favorite ways to make a tender pot roast that is packing loads of flavor.
We’ve also made crockpot Mississippi chicken time and time again – either serving it over mashed cauliflower or as a sandwich on one of our keto hamburger buns.
Well, I had planned to make Mississippi chicken the other day but forget to pop it in the crockpot and the insert to my Instant Pot was in the dishwasher – so I got creative and improvised! Enter this Baked Mississippi Chicken!
What is Mississippi Chicken?
Mississippi style chicken is prepared with a mixture of au jus seasoning and ranch seasoning mix and cooked with pepperoncini peppers. The seasoning and peppers adds lots of wonderful flavor to the chicken!
It’s tender, juicy chicken – no special tools needed! And you get all those delicious flavors we’re obsessed with from the au jus mix and ranch seasoning. The pepperoncini softens up nicely and the best part is that it’s super easy to pick those right off before they even make it to the little ones’ plates, if necessary. 😉
This Baked Mississippi Chicken is a definite new favorite in my house and I love how simple it is to prepare with just 5 ingredients.
Why We Love This Recipe:
This 5 ingredient recipe packs big flavor! Whether you are making Mississippi chicken or pot roast, the au jus gravy mix and ranch seasoning with the pepperoncini is an incredibly tasty combination.
Super quick to prepare and makes a great last minute dinner.
I personally love the pepperoncini and the flavor they add, but I also like that I can just swipe them right off my youngest’s portion and she’ll still get the flavor without seeing the actual peppers and having a freak out. 😉
