Description

A comforting and flavorful slow cooker Parmesan garlic chicken sandwich made with tender shredded chicken, rich Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, and aromatic herbs. Perfect for an easy and delicious meal prepared with minimal hands-on time.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Sandwich and Toppings

  • 6 sandwich rolls
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Place Chicken in Slow Cooker: Lay the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour 1 cup of chicken broth over the chicken to keep it moist during cooking.
  2. Prepare Parmesan Garlic Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Sprinkle this flavorful mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  3. Cook the Chicken Low and Slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked, tender, and shreds easily with a fork.
  4. Preheat Oven for Toasting Rolls: When the chicken is nearly done, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare the sandwich rolls for toasting.
  5. Shred the Chicken: Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir it well to coat with the flavorful cooking juices.
  6. Prepare and Toast Rolls: Slice the sandwich rolls in half. Brush the inside of each roll with melted butter combined with garlic powder. Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  7. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spoon generous portions of the shredded Parmesan garlic chicken onto the bottom halves of the toasted rolls. Sprinkle each with shredded mozzarella cheese, then place the top halves of the rolls to complete the sandwich.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the sandwiches hot, allowing the melted cheese and tender chicken to shine in every bite. Perfect for a hearty lunch or dinner.

Notes

  • You can substitute sandwich rolls with hoagie buns or ciabatta for different textures.
  • For spicier sandwiches, add red pepper flakes to the Parmesan mixture.
  • Leftover shredded chicken can be used in salads or wraps.
  • Make sure not to overcook the chicken to avoid dryness.
  • Butter and garlic powder enhance the toasty flavor of the rolls, but can be omitted for a lighter version.
