Instant Pot Mississippi Chicken

Instant Pot Mississippi Chicken

If you’re familiar with mississippi roast this is the chicken version of that recipe! It’s chicken that remains moist and tender and has the delicious pepperoncini juice flavors. This recipe is low carb and tastes great served with mashed ranch cauliflower or mashed potatoes. My version contains no packets!

The key is to use bone-in chicken breasts. The white meat is lower fat and calories but because it’s cooked on the bone it remains more moist and tender than boneless chicken breasts do. Alternatively, you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs (use between 2½ to 3 pounds).

Ingredients/Substitution Ideas

  • Water
  • Better than Bouillon Beef Base–or Chicken Base
  • Pepperoncini juice–buy a jar of pepperoncinis and pour out a half cup of the juice
  • Bone-in chicken breasts–or boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • Butter
  • Pepperoncinis–whole or sliced
  • Kosher salt
  • Onion powder
  • Garlic powder
  • Dried thyme
  • Black pepper

Steps

Add water, beef base, pepperoncinis and juice into Instant Pot.

Add in chicken and place butter on top. Sprinkle the chicken with salt, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme and pepper.

Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 10 minutes for fresh chicken or 12 minutes for frozen chicken. When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting and remove the lid.

Move chicken to a cutting board and pull the chicken off of the bone. Discard the bone and stir the chicken pieces back into the Instant Pot.

Serve chicken and enjoy drizzled with some of the juices.

Notes/Tips

  • This recipe is low carb and dairy free. It can also be gluten-free if you use a gluten-free beef base.
  • This dinner is a tasty and healthy meal when you serve it up with mashed cauliflower and green beans.
  • I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a 3 or 8 quart pot.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Other recipes you can make with pepperoncinis are Instant Pot Mississippi Roast, Instant Pot Mississippi Pork Sandwiches and Instant Pot Mississippi Beef Noodles.

    How long will cook time be if I use fresh boneless thighs cut into bite-sized pieces? Can’t wait to do this one!

        Thanks! Cooked your Mississippi Roast today, neighbor butchered a moo-moo & gave us a chuck roast. Woo-hoo!! Was sooo good. So, I know the chicken will be great as well. Can’t wait to try it. I’ll be back with gobs of stars.
