Ingredients
- 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs or boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 medium sweet onions, sliced
- 4 medium sweet bell peppers (any colors), seeded and sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 8 lices Provolone cheese
- 8 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise and toasted
Instructions
- Place the chicken, onions, bell peppers, and garlic in the bottom of a slow cooker. Drizzle with olive oil; toss to coat. Season the chicken and veggies liberally with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Toss to coat everything in the seasoning.
- Cover and cook on LOW for about 4-6 hours, or on HIGH for about 2-3 hours. Remove the chicken to a cutting board. Slice the meat or shred with two forks. Return the chicken to the slow cooker and stir it into the vegetables.
- Arrange the cheese slices on top of the chicken mixture. Cover with the lid and continue cooking just until the cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes.
- Serve the chicken, peppers, onions, and cheese on the toasted hoagie rolls.

Notes
- Season the meat and vegetables liberally with salt and pepper. Taste and add more when it's done. That's a lot of meat and veggies, so it requires a good amount of seasoning so that it doesn't taste bland.
- Use either boneless, skinless chicken breasts or boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this recipe. We find that the dark meat thighs stay a bit juicier during the slow cooking process, but they are both great.
