  • Spray your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. 
  • Layer the diced onion on the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts atop the onion.

Notes

Serve Mississippi Chicken

  • Creamy mashed potatoes: A bed of smooth, creamy mashed potatoes not only soaks up the delicious sauce but also provides a comforting complement to the spicy, tangy chicken. 
  • Bed of rice: Fluffy rice serves as a gentle base that balances the bold flavors of the chicken, ensuring each bite is as perfect as the last. 
  • Cauliflower rice: For those of you keeping it low-carb, cauliflower rice is a great option that doesn’t skimp on texture or taste. 
  • Sliders or wraps: Consider shredding that juicy chicken to tuck into soft, warm Hawaiian Rolls or wraps. This not only elevates the dish to a delightful, hand-held treat but also marries the succulent chicken with the crisp freshness of lettuce or the creaminess of avocado. 
  • Egg Noodles: Instead of rice or mashed potatoes, toss the shredded chicken with egg noodles for a comforting, pasta-style meal.
