How to Make

  • Season the Chicken: Start by seasoning the boneless skinless chicken breasts with salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Make sure every piece is well-coated for maximum flavor!
  • Add Broth and Cheese: Carefully pour the chicken broth around the edges of the slow cooker to maintain the seasoning on the chicken. Next, sprinkle the minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese over the top, then dot with butter for extra richness.
  • Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the cooker, stirring it into the flavorful juices.
  • Assemble Sandwiches: Pile the shredded chicken onto your choice of sandwich rolls or buns, then top with any optional toppings.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Serve your sandwiches immediately with sides like potato chips, salad, or pickles.

Notes

Store leftover chicken in airtight containers with some cooking juices for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the shredded chicken for up to 3 months.
