This Chicken French Dip is everything you love about the classic sandwich, but it’s made with lean chicken. Slow roasted until perfectly tender, then served on a toasted roll with melted Havarti cheese ready to be dipped in a savory au jus. Made for hearty appetites.

Instructions

  1. Use a food processor to purée your onion. If you don’t have a food processor, a blender will work.
  2. Combine puréed onion in a bowl with butter, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, cornstarch, garlic, parsley, pepper, and thyme.
  3. Add chicken breasts and mix ingredients.

MAKE IT A FREEZER MEAL

  1. Do not cook! Pour all ingredients into a gallon-size freezer bag. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible and freeze.

MAKE IT NOW

  1. Pour all ingredients into either the Instant Pot or crockpot and cook as directed below.

COOK IN INSTANT POT

  1. From frozen, add contents into an instant pot. Sauté for 5 minutes or until you have about 1/4 cup of liquids. Cook for 30 minutes at high pressure then allow 10 minutes for natural release.
  2. From thawed or freshly made, transfer into an instant pot. Cook for 28 minutes at high pressure, then allow 10 minutes for natural release.

TO SERVE

  1. Shred chicken on a cutting board with two forks (DON’T THROW AWAY THE JUICE!) Toast hoagie rolls under the broiler until golden. Place some shredded chicken on hoagie bottom, and top with a slice of Havarti cheese.
  2. Spoon off and discard fat (or use fat separator) on liquids left in crock pot. Ladle this jus into small bowls to serve alongside each sandwich for dipping.

Notes

  • Cook in the Crockpot/Slow Cooker
  • From thawed or freshly made, transfer into slow cooker. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low 6-7 hours.
  • From thawed or freshly made, transfer into slow cooker. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low 6-7 hours.
