Description

These Slow Cooker Chicken Philly Sandwiches are packed with tender, juicy chicken, sautéed peppers, onions, and melted cheese, all served on a soft hoagie roll. A fuss-free meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights or game day gatherings!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lbs (900 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 bell peppers (red, green, or yellow), thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet (1 oz or 28 g) Italian seasoning mix (or 1 tbsp homemade blend)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 6 hoagie rolls or sub rolls

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker:
    • Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the sliced peppers, onions, and minced garlic on top.
  2. Add the Broth:
    • Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients to keep everything moist and flavorful.
  3. Cook:
    • Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
  4. Shred the Chicken:
    • Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix with the peppers and onions.
  5. Assemble the Sandwiches:
    • Preheat the broiler on your oven. Split the hoagie rolls and fill each with a generous portion of the chicken mixture.
    • Top with a slice (or two) of provolone cheese. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve the sandwiches hot, with optional toppings like mayonnaise, mustard, or hot sauce if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add mushrooms to the slow cooker with the peppers and onions.
  • Substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack for variety.
  • Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
