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

For the Sandwich Rolls

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

Instructions

  1. Add Chicken to Slow Cooker: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the slow cooker and pour 1 cup of chicken broth over them to keep the meat moist during cooking.
  2. Prepare Parmesan Garlic Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried basil, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this flavorful mixture evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender enough to shred easily with a fork.
  4. Preheat Oven and Prepare Rolls: When the chicken is done, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Split the sandwich rolls in half and brush the inside lightly with a mixture of melted butter and garlic powder.
  5. Shred Chicken and Combine: Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the remaining cooking juices, keeping it moist and flavorful.
  6. Toast Rolls: Place the buttered rolls cut-side up on a baking sheet and toast them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, until they turn golden brown and slightly crisp.
  7. Assemble Sandwiches: Spoon the shredded chicken onto the bottom halves of the toasted rolls, sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese, and then cover with the top halves of the rolls.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the sandwiches hot immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy your comforting Parmesan Garlic Chicken Sandwich!
