Cooking Instructions

  • Evenly season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, ensuring they're coated nicely.
  • Pour the chicken broth around the seasoned chicken in your slow cooker. Top with minced garlic and sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the chicken, then add butter pieces for richness.
  • Cover and set your slow cooker on low heat for about 6 to 7 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.
  • Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the cooker, mixing it with the flavorful juices.
  • Grab your rolls or buns, then fill them generously with the shredded chicken. Customize with desired toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, or pesto.
  • Enjoy your sandwiches warm and cozy, paired with crunchy sides like potato chips or a fresh salad.

Drizzle some of the cooking juices over the sandwiches for an extra flavor boost! Leftovers can be stored in their juices for moisture.
