Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
For Serving:
- 6 hoagie rolls (or your favorite sandwich rolls)
- 6 slices provolone cheese (or mozzarella/cheddar)
Butter, for toasting rolls (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken:
Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Add the onion slices, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper on top of the chicken. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the chicken and vegetables. Pour in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce.
2️⃣ Cook:
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and easily shredded.
3️⃣ Shred the Chicken:
Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix it with the vegetables and juices.
4️⃣ Assemble the Sandwiches:
Preheat your oven’s broiler. Split the hoagie rolls and butter them lightly (optional). Toast them under the broiler for 1–2 minutes until golden. Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture onto each roll. Top each sandwich with a slice of provolone cheese. Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil for 1–2 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
5️⃣ Serve:
Serve the sandwiches warm with your favorite sides like potato chips, fries, or a salad.
