Instant Pot Mississippi Chicken

What is Mississippi Chicken?

This is a chicken version of the Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast and the Instant Pot Mississippi Pork Roast.  If you have never tried either of them, you will definitely need to.  It is the absolute easiest way to cook the most flavorful meal you will ever eat!  We tried the Instant Pot Mississippi Pot Roast first and it was so good I decided to try it on pork and chicken.  Every single meal came out just as good!  For the Instant Pot Mississippi Chicken Recipe you can use either breasts or thighs depending on what you prefer.

What to serve with Mississippi Chicken?

I love either mashed potatoes and gravy or, rice and gravy!  With our first pot of Instant Pot Mississippi Chicken we ate it over mashed potatoes.  I love mashed potatoes and gravy with extra gravy!!!  After eating it this way I will probably only eat this kind of mashed potatoes and gravy from now on.

Besides for either rice or mashed potatoes below is a list of a few other suggestions that would go great with this meal.

• Side salad
• Blackeye Peas
• Field Peas
• Quick and Easy Potato Salad
• Cornbread
• Broccoli and Cheese

You can even use up your leftovers and make a warm sandwich with some melted provolone cheese!!  That would be delicious!

 

 

 

Ingredients – Instant Pot Mississippi Chicken

• 2 & 1/2 lb. Chicken Breasts or Chicken Thighs
• Jar of Pepperoncini Peppers (I use about 6)
• Stick of Butter (sliced)
• A packet of dry Au Jus Gravy Mix
• A packet of dry Ranch Dressing Seasoning Mix
• ½ Cup of Water

 

Instructions – Instant Pot Mississippi Chicken

 

#1.  First, place all of your chicken breast or thighs into your Instant Pot.  (No browning required)

 

#2.  Next, add your ½  cup of water.

 

#3.  Then sprinkle your packets of Ranch and Au Jus on top of your meat.  Place the Pepperoncini Peppers and sliced butter on top of the meat also.

 

#4.  Close the lid and turn the steam release valve to the “sealing” position.

 

#5.  Next, press the pressure cook button.  Then press pressure level button until high is selected.   Set timer for 8 minutes.  **Please note- If your Instant Pot is still on sauté mode you will need to press “Cancel” then “Pressure Cook”.

 

#6. After the timer has completed allow your Instant Pot to naturally release the pressure.  This should take about 20 minutes.

 

#7.  Finally, serve over rice or mashed potatoes and enjoy!
