Description

This Dill Pickle Chicken recipe features tender, slow-cooked chicken breasts infused with tangy dill pickle chips and a flavorful blend of ranch seasoning, chicken gravy mix, garlic, and dill. Perfectly shredded and juicy, this dish offers a unique, savory taste with a subtle pickle tang that’s great served on hamburger buns or alongside mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 oz. ranch seasoning packet (such as Hidden Valley)
  • 0.87 oz. chicken gravy mix (such as McCormick)
  • 5 whole garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp. dried dill (or 2 tsp. fresh dill)

Pickle

  • 16 oz. dill pickle chips (including their juices)

For Serving

  • Hamburger buns or mashed potatoes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place the 2 lbs. of boneless skinless chicken breasts into the slow cooker, spreading them out evenly to ensure even cooking.
  2. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the 1 oz. ranch seasoning packet and 0.87 oz. chicken gravy mix evenly over the chicken breasts to infuse the meat with flavorful herbs and savory notes.
  3. Add Pickles and Garlic: Pour in the 16 oz. of dill pickle chips along with all the pickle juice over the seasoned chicken. Add 5 whole garlic cloves and sprinkle 1 teaspoon dried dill (or 2 teaspoons fresh dill) to enhance the dish’s signature dill flavor.
  4. Cook Slowly: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the mixture on LOW for 6-8 hours, allowing the chicken to become tender and fully absorb the pickle and seasoning flavors.
  5. Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, use two forks to shred the meat directly inside the slow cooker, mixing it well with the pickles and juices.
  6. Serve: Serve the shredded dill pickle chicken on hamburger buns for sandwiches or alongside creamy mashed potatoes for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • Storing Tips: Store leftover dill pickle chicken in ziplock bags or airtight containers. It will keep for about 4 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.
  • Taste Profile: This dish offers shredded chicken with a subtle dill pickle flavor, mellowed by the ranch seasoning and chicken gravy mix, balancing tanginess with savory richness.
