When we were looking through recipes to make for our “Foodi Friday” segment over on our YouTube channel, we could not believe that we did not already have Electric Pressure Cooker Creamy Mississippi Chicken on the website! We make it ALL the time. This recipe is a regular on our weeknight menus AND we also make it often for special occasions. We adapted our Crock Pot Creamy Mississippi Chicken (which was adapted from our regular Crock Pot Mississippi Chicken) .

How to Make Mississippi Chicken Low Carb
While not everyone is comfortable using pre-made packets in their low carb diet, we enjoy Mississippi Chicken as an easy low carb dinner from time to time by substituting the traditional ranch packet for a dill ranch packet or chive and onion packet. Both reduce the carb counts for the entire recipe by 16 carbs. Additionally we make sure to use AuJus Gravy packets instead of higher carb gravy packets– this typically makes the carb count at least 1/4 of what it would be.
You can find these packets in almost any grocery store in the salad dressing aisle and gravy/sauces aisle. We also have them in our Amazon Recommendations under Low Carb Kitchen Favorites.
Like we always say on the blog, carb counts are ALWAYS going to be dependent on the exact ingredients you use– not the recipe itself.

AMAZING! Put it on a tortilla, a little sloppy. Plan on trying it with zucchini or butternut squash spirals, maybe on top of Quikcarb biscuits, or even cauliflower rice (which I am not a big fan of just yet). I chopped the peppers up with the chicken with an emersion blender, OMG ! I could hardly wait to taste it as I was chopping. This will be in my top five for sure.
Those are some great ideas Kelly! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe and that it gave you all kinds of ideas for ways to serve it!
