Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 Pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast or Chicken Thighs
  • 1 Tbsp Dry Ranch Dressing Seasoning Mix
  • 1 Tbsp Dry Brown Gravy Mix (or Gluten-Free Brown Gravy Mix)
  • 8 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 6 Pepperoncini Peppers

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes with a cake pan or any container that is heatproof. I used an 8-inch cake pan.
  • In a small bowl, mix the dry ranch seasoning and dry gravy mix.
  • Place the chicken breast into the preheated pan.
  • Sprinkle the dry seasoning mixture directly over the chicken.
  • Cut the butter into small slices and place over the chicken along with the peppers.
  • Air fry at 350°F for 9 minutes, carefully flip the chicken and cook for an additional 9 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F.
  • If you want to keep the chicken intact, skip these steps. If you want to shred the chicken, carefully remove the chicken from the cake pan and use 2 forks to shred the chicken.
  • Place back in the cake pan and mix well.
  • Place the cake pan with the shredded chicken back into the air fryer at 350°F for 2 minutes to warm back up.
  • Serve!

Notes

Au Jus sauce can be used in place of the brown gravy, I use gluten-free brown gravy mix to keep it gluten-free.
This chicken can be paired with green beans and potatoes or served over tacos or nachos.
