SLOW COOKER CHICKEN PHILLY SANDWICHES
Tender, juicy chicken, peppers, and onions slow-cooked to perfection make these Chicken Philly Sandwiches an easy, satisfying weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- 6 hoagie rolls or sandwich buns
Instructions
Layer ingredients:
- In the slow cooker, place chicken breasts. Top with sliced peppers, onions, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Cook:
- Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or on high for 2½–3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreddable.
Shred and stir:
- Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker and mix with the juices and vegetables.
Assemble sandwiches:
- Toast hoagie rolls if desired. Spoon chicken mixture onto each roll and top with provolone cheese. Place under broiler for 1–2 minutes to melt the cheese.
Serve:
- Serve warm with chips, pickles, or a simple side salad.
Notes
- Customise it: Add mushrooms or swap in pepper jack for a spicy twist.
- Low-carb option: Serve over lettuce or in a low-carb wrap instead of bread.
- Make ahead: Chicken mixture can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
- Serving idea: Great for parties — keep warm in the slow cooker and let guests build their own!
