Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasoning

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Sandwich and Toppings

  • 6 sandwich rolls
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Add chicken and broth: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the slow cooker and pour the chicken broth evenly over them to provide moisture during cooking.
  2. Season chicken: In a small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried basil, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts to infuse flavor.
  3. Slow cook chicken: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and can be shredded easily with a fork.
  4. Preheat oven: About 10 minutes before the chicken is done, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare the sandwich rolls.
  5. Shred chicken: Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the slow cooker and place them on a plate. Use two forks to shred the chicken finely. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix it well with the cooking juices for extra flavor and moisture.
  6. Prepare sandwich rolls: Split the sandwich rolls in half and brush the inside of each half with the melted butter combined with garlic powder. Place the rolls in the preheated oven and toast for approximately 5 minutes until the bread is golden brown and slightly crispy.
  7. Assemble sandwiches: Spoon the shredded chicken evenly onto the bottom half of each toasted roll. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken, then top with the other half of the rolls to form complete sandwiches.
  8. Serve and enjoy: Serve the sandwiches hot for a comforting and flavorful meal that highlights tender garlic Parmesan chicken with melty mozzarella and toasted garlic bread.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, feel free to add a dash of red pepper flakes to the Parmesan mixture for a subtle kick.
  • You can substitute sandwich rolls with hoagie buns or ciabatta bread if preferred.
  • Keep the sandwiches warm by covering them with foil after assembly if serving later.
  • Leftover shredded chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • If time allows, letting the chicken soak in the juices in the slow cooker for 10-15 minutes before serving enhances moisture and flavor.
