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:
Step 1: 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 pepper over the chicken and vegetables.
Pour in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce.
Step 2: 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.
Step 3: 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 it with the vegetables and juices.
Step 4: 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.
Step 5: Serve
Serve the sandwiches warm with your favorite sides like potato chips, fries, or a salad.
