Mississippi Chicken Pot Pie

Ingredients

• Chicken breast (Cut or score so the flavors can penetrate evenly; the transcript does not specify an amount.)
• 1 Ranch seasoning packet (The frame text identifies Dan-O's ranch packet; packet size is not stated.)
• 1 Brown gravy packet (Packet size is not stated.)
• Pepperoncinis (Use a few; no exact amount stated.)
• Pepperoncini brine (A few splashes; no exact amount stated.)
• Garlic (The transcript calls it “jarlic” and says to add a few heaping helpings; amount unspecified.)
• 1 cup Water (The transcript jokingly offers water or arsenic; use water.)
• Puff pastry (Cut into shapes; no amount stated.)
• Cheddar cheese (Sprinkle on to serve; the transcript says not to be shy, but gives no amount.)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the chicken by cutting or scoring it so the seasonings and other flavors can penetrate the meat evenly.

2. 2

   Put the chicken in a slow cooker or cauldron. Add the ranch seasoning packet and brown gravy packet.

3. 3

   Add a few pepperoncinis and a few splashes of their juice.

4. 4

   Add several heaping helpings of garlic; the creator calls this “jarlic.”

5. 5

   Pour in 1 cup of water and stir everything together.

6. 6

   Cover the cooker and cook on low for 4–5 hours, or on high for 3–4 hours.

7. 7

   For the pot-pie variation, transfer the cooked chicken mixture to a cast-iron loaf pan. The source does not give further assembly instructions for the filling.

8. 8

   Cut happy-little-skull shapes from puff pastry and place them over the chicken mixture.

9. 9

   Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown. The oven temperature is not stated.

10. 10

    Sprinkle cheddar over the dish when serving.

Notes

The transcript gives no chicken quantity, exact amounts for the pepperoncinis, brine, garlic, puff pastry, or cheddar, and no oven temperature. The creator also suggests serving the slow-cooked chicken as-is with mashed potatoes or rice.
