Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 2 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 teaspoon Salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth low-sodium recommended

For the Creamy Sauce

  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 4 cloves Garlic Cloves (minced)
  • 4 tablespoons Butter (cut into pieces)

For Assembly

  • 4 rolls Sandwich Rolls or Buns gluten-free options available
  • Optional Toppings lettuce, tomato slices, mayo, pesto, or arugula

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Place them directly in the slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly coated for maximum flavor.
  • Pour the chicken broth around the sides of the chicken. This helps keep the seasoning intact on the meat while adding moisture during cooking.
  • Sprinkle minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken, followed by butter pieces. This combination creates a rich, creamy sauce.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  • Shred the chicken in the slow cooker using two forks, then mix it well with the cooking juices to absorb all that flavorful goodness.
  • Fill your sandwich rolls or buns with the shredded chicken, piling it high for a generous serving. Add any desired toppings, like lettuce or tomato, to freshen it up.
  • Serve warm and enjoy, preferably with sides like potato chips or a refreshing salad for a complete meal.

Notes

Optional: Drizzle leftover cooking juices over the sandwiches for an extra burst of flavor.
