This Shredded Mississippi Chicken is a superb chicken dish packed with flavor! You must add this recipe to your rotation!
This Slow Cooker Shredded Mississippi Chicken is to die for. It’s amazing how flavorful the chicken is with so few ingredients. The first time I made this dish I found it to be a tad too salty.
Between the two dry mixes and seasoning the chicken with salt, it was just a bit too much for me. My wife, on the other hand, thought it was perfect. So depending on how salty you like your food, adjust the amount of salt you add to the chicken.
Try to resist as much as possible the temptation to open the lid while it’s cooking as the slow cooker loses heat. By just opening the lid to stir the contents can make the internal temperature drop by 10°F to 15°F.
All of the times I have made this recipe, I have always used a crockpot. Which is fine if you plan accordingly. But if you are like me, always running late AND have an Instant Pot on hand, you can make this very recipe using your pressure cooker.
When it comes to serving this delicious Shredded Mississippi Chicken you have a few options. There are times when I serve it over a bed of rice or with a side of roasted potatoes but we also like to make Chicken Tacos with it.
