Ingredients
  

  • For the Slow Cooker:
  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow onion sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil optional
  • For Serving:
  • 4 –6 hoagie rolls or sandwich buns
  • 8 –12 slices provolone cheese
  • Butter for toasting rolls (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Load Up the Slow Cooker
  • Layer bell peppers and onions on the bottom. Add garlic, chicken, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, Worcestershire, and broth. Drizzle with olive oil if using.
  • Let It Cook
  • Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hrs or high for 3–4 hrs, until chicken is fork-tender.
  • Shred & Stir
  • Shred chicken with two forks right in the slow cooker. Mix everything together so it soaks up all the juices. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Build the Sandwiches
  • Toast rolls with butter (optional but recommended). Pile on the chicken-pepper mixture and top with 2 slices of provolone.
  • Melt the Cheese
  • Broil sandwiches for 1–2 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm!

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs or even rotisserie chicken (reduce cook time).
  • Try mozzarella, Swiss, or pepper jack if you’re not into provolone.
  • Make it spicy with jalapeños or hot sauce.
  • Go gluten-free with lettuce wraps or rice bowls.
