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.
  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • We make this recipe low carb by using the lowest carb mixes we can find.
  • You can find more low carb recipes in our Low Carb Recipe Library that we update weekly.
  • Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cookingthis dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

    I love to make this beef dish, but can you use anything else besides using so much butter?

    Hello. I am trying this dish tomorrow night and am super excited! I am cutting the recipe in half as I am only feeding two people. As I’m cutting the recipe in half will this effect the cook time in the crock pot? Or, should I still cook on low for 4-5 hours? Thanks! -Kate

      Hi Kate!

      Depending on the size of your crock and how fast it cooks, your dish could get done quicker… We always recommend that you watch a recipe closely when you first try it and adjust your time accordingly. Enjoy!

    I feel like such a dummy! Until I read this post, I never thought of using my corded probe thermometer (with the unit that sits on the counter) in the slow cooker. What a great idea!!
    Thanks!

    I have made the Mississippi roast several times and it’s always been a hit! I was so happy to see that you also think that using chicken thighs for this recipe would be awesome! Even the hubby who is sooo picky said the same thing while he was eating a huge plate of the roast, he said that he thought Chicken would be awesome to cook this way too!

    I was just wondering what you would eat this with? Do you put it over something or serve it alone with a side dish? It sounds amazing either way I guess!

      Hi Nancy! Are you able to use the “Brown Gravy” or “Mushroom Gravy” packets? I have used both of those before as substitutes.
      Enjoy!

    • Nancy Rice says

      May 13, 2015 at 6:17 am

      No, all of the brown gravies have beef fat or other beef products in them.

    • Airen Snyder says

      April 17, 2017 at 2:23 pm

      If you Google copycat recipes for envelope mixes, sub chicken bullion for beef.

      I’ve done this simply because it is what I had on hand, and it works well 🙂

      Sorry about that Pat! Always cook chicken to at least an internal temp of 165. I usually cook mine to 170 and it is nice and tender without drying out.

      Hi Jess!
      I don’t actually eat them (my husband does), but I do like the flavor they add to the gravy– it isn’t the same as eating them. You could leave them out completely if you are allergic or are worried that you will not enjoy the flavor they add. Either way, definitely try it… it is soo good!!

    • Jess says

      May 13, 2015 at 10:09 pm

      I will! I’m going to try it next week for my Sunday cook ahead meal. I may try a few Pepperoncinis to see how it works.

    The recipe sounds delicious and I want to try it out but I was curious if chicken breasts can be used in place of thighs? Not a big fan of thighs.

      Hi Pam! While I prefer thighs in the crock pot, you should be able to substitute chicken breast just fine. Just make sure not to overcook the chicken breasts or they may become dry or chalky in texture. Enjoy!

    • Mac says

      April 22, 2017 at 9:32 pm

      I made this with 3 pounds of chicken breasts tonight. I cooked it on high for 4.5 hours and it was easy to shred. I use a meat thermometer too.

  20. Linda says

    May 6, 2015 at 9:34 am

    Just a question. And I to, like the others love the Mississippi pot roast. My question, have you tried it with chicken breast yet? And do you think it would be as good as the thighs?
    Thanks 🙂

      Hi Linda!

      I prefer thighs in the crock pot, however, you should be able to substitute breasts no problem… you just need to watch that you don’t overcook them and dry them out.

      Enjoy!

    Will have to try this. I love the roast with the same ingredients I’m sure the chicken will be just as wonderful. I also throw in fresh green beans and red potatoes when I cook the roast. My family says they are the best green beans because they fill the Au Jus/Ranch juices. Thanks for the alternative for the roast!

    in my opinion, bone in chicken thighs is best.. just remove skin so you don’t get so much fat.
