Description
A delicious slow cooker recipe for tender, shredded chicken served on buns with melted Provolone cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (frozen works fine)
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 14 ounces chicken broth
- 2 green peppers (sliced)
- 1 onion (sliced)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 ounce Italian dressing mix (1 packet)
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 8 buns or hoagies
- 8 Provolone cheese slices
Instructions
- Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place chicken inside slow cooker, place butter on top of chicken and pour chicken broth on top.
- Layer sliced green peppers, sliced onion, garlic, Italian dressing mix, paprika, salt and pepper on top of chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours (or high for 3-4 hours).
- When chicken is done cooking, remove from slow cooker and shred (it should fall apart pretty easily).
- Return shredded chicken into liquid in the slow cooker.
- Spoon shredded chicken onto buns and top with pieces of cheese.
- Another yummy option is to toast your bread in a 375℉ oven for 4-5 minutes, then top with meat and cheese and stick back in the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese and make it nice and gooey.
