Ingredients

Servings

Slow Cooker Chicken

  • 2 pounds chicken breast boneless, skinless
  • 1 yellow onion sliced, small
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 1 bay leaf dried
  • 12 ounce hot cherry peppers undrained, sliced, jar
  • 4 tablespoons butter

Sandwich Items

  • 8 ciabatta rolls
  • 8 cheese provolone, mozzarella, etc, slices
  • roasted garlic sun-dried tomato aioli
  • arugula optional, greens, chopped romaine
  • romaine lettuce
  • spinach

Instructions

  1. Add the chicken, onion, garlic powder, dried oregano, and bay leaf to the slow cooker. Pour the jar of hot cherry peppers and its liquid over the chicken. Cut the butter into four separate tablespoons and place them on top of the chicken and peppers.
  2. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or when a meat thermometer says its internal temperature is 165°. Either in advance or when the chicken is cooking, make the Roasted Garlic Sun-Dried Tomato Aioli.
  3. When the chicken is done, shred it and combine it with the onions and peppers. The chicken will be juicy! Let the juices drip out of slotted spoon or tongs before adding to sandwich. 
  4. To make the sandwiches: Open the ciabatta rolls and toast them (either in the oven or under the broiler). Once golden, add cheese, aioli, chicken mixture, and greens if using. Enjoy!
