I am intrigued by the combination of ingredients in this recipe. I love slow cooker recipes and this sounds like a good hearty weekend meal. I haven't used pepperoncinis with chicken so this will be an adventure. I do wonder how ranch dressing mix and gravy mix taste together.

A nice hearty meal that the whole family can enjoy. We added a few chopped fresh garlic cloves to zhoooosh the flavor up a little and home made chicken stock instead of the broth. We had ours with cauliflower rice and some roast garden veg. It was a really hearty meal with lots of lovely comforting flavors.
