Have you heard of Mississippi Pot Roast?

It broke the internet about eight years ago.  Robin Chapman, a mom from Mississippi created it one day when she put chicken, broth, butter, ranch, gravy mix and pepperocinis in her slow cooker. Her aunt had taught her a variation with Italian Dressing but she wanted something less spicy so she substituted the Italian dressing for ranch. Who would have thought it would be amazing, but it was!! You can read more about it in the New York Times article.

Mississippi Chicken is so good!

I have made Robin’s version in my slow cooker but we like chicken more than red meat so I thought I would give it a try with chicken. After a few tries we have a winner!! And this is my kids favorite right now!! We serve it on soft buttery rolls with a little lettuce on top and it just melts in your mouth!!

In the winter I think I’ll make it and serve it over rice for a more hearty, warm dish.

It is so easy and fast to make in the pressure cooker!

I used frozen chicken breasts and it’s a dish that you can make in less than half an hour. If you are using fresh chicken breasts you set your pressure cooker to 8 minutes, if you are using frozen chicken breasts I set my pressure cooker to 15 minutes. Once the pressure releases (natural release), I took the lid off and put the chicken on a cutting board and shredded it. Then I put it back in the pot and mixed a little corn starch with water to the mixture to thicken it up a little to go on the sandwiches.

The leftovers are even better the next day!

We heated the leftovers up the next day and ate them for lunch. It was even better!
