Description

These Slow Cooker Chicken Philly Sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal featuring tender, juicy chicken cooked with garlic, bell peppers, onions, and a savory blend of soy and BBQ sauce. Melted provolone or mozzarella cheese tops the mixture, all served warm on hoagie rolls, making for a perfect family-friendly sandwich full of bold flavors and comforting textures.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 green), sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce

Assembly

  • 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
  • Hoagie rolls or crusty bread, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper, then place them in the bottom of the slow cooker, ensuring an even layer for cooking.
  2. Add vegetables: Layer the minced garlic, sliced bell peppers, and onions evenly over the chicken breasts to infuse flavor during the slow cooking process.
  3. Mix and add sauces: In a small bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce with the BBQ sauce, then pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the slow cooker.
  4. Cook the chicken: Cover the slow cooker and cook on the low setting for 6 hours or on the high setting for 3 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  5. Shred the chicken: Using two forks, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker and stir to mix the chicken thoroughly with the vegetables and sauce.
  6. Melt the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the chicken mixture, cover the slow cooker, and let the cheese melt for a few minutes.
  7. Assemble sandwiches: Spoon the cheesy chicken mixture onto hoagie rolls or crusty bread and add extra sauce if desired before serving warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute provolone with mozzarella or cheddar cheese for variation.
  • Use gluten-free hoagie rolls to make the recipe gluten-free.
  • To reduce sodium, opt for low-sodium soy sauce and BBQ sauce.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For spicier sandwiches, add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce to the mixture before cooking.
