Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker, Instant Pot, or oven-safe dish in a single layer.
Evenly sprinkle the Ranch seasoning mix and Au Jus gravy mix over the chicken.
Cut butter into 4-6 pats and distribute over the chicken and seasonings.
Scatter pepperoncini peppers over everything and pour in 1/4 cup of pepperoncini juice.
Slow Cooker: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until chicken is tender.
Instant Pot: Close lid, set valve to sealing, cook on high pressure for 15-20 minutes, then natural release for 10 minutes.

Remove chicken from pot and shred with two forks.
Return shredded chicken to pot with juices and mix well to absorb flavors.
