Cris Here.
If you haven’t heard, Mississippi is all the rage these days ;). So many people have told me about their love for the Mississippi Pot Roast that we have also tried our hand using similar ingredients with other forms of protein and man oh man did it not disappoint.
Check out Mikey’s video about making them:
How to Make Mississippi Chicken in a Slow Cooker
Chicken thighs were made for this dish. We love throwing boneless, skinless chicken thighs in our slow cooker because they almost always cook up so nicely. They have the perfect amount of fat to cook up nicely but not make the dish –whatever it may be– too greasy.

Notes on Crock Pot Mississippi Chicken
- We used boneless skinless thighs to make this recipe. Feel free to use the chicken cut of chicken you prefer. Cooking times may vary.
- We cooked these thighs up in our slow cooker that has a built in meat thermometer but you can also use a regular meat thermometer in your slow cooker at home if you aren’t in the market for a new crock pot. This particular meat thermometer model allows you to place the probe in the meat, close the crock lid and set an alarm for when it reaches the temperature you set on the thermometer. I highly recommend using a meat thermometer with this dish especially if you choose to substitute chicken breasts for the chicken thighs in this dish.

- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly.

Stupid question, But If I cut all the ingredients in half, would I cut the nutritional calculations in half as well? (I know things differ based on different products). But for argument’s sake lol…using half of everything needed for this recipe, would I cut everything in half? Thanks!

Hi Britany-
The nutritional information is per serving, so if you cut the recipe in half, you would just cut the servings in half and the nutritional information stays the same. Hope that helps!
We enjoy it so much we have it weekly. It is the dish we bring to “Bring a dish Parties”
So glad you enjoyed it Michael! We love to hear that!
Mannnn I so want to make this however I just marinated mine in lemon pepper marinade lol. Also, I’ve never ever used or bought gravy mix, I’ve also made homemade so I’m conflicted. But for this I might just make an exception 😂.
Can you use bone-in chicken thighs?
