A comforting and flavorful slow cooker chicken sandwich infused with garlic and parmesan, perfect for an easy homemade lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs / 700 g)
  • 4–5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (100 g)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (240 ml), low sodium preferred
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (60 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4–6 soft sandwich buns (brioche, ciabatta, or classic hamburger buns)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Trim any excess fat.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine grated Parmesan, minced garlic, chicken broth, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the parmesan garlic sauce evenly over the chicken, coating each piece well.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.
  5. Use two forks or meat shredder claws to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir the chicken and sauce together to coat evenly.
  6. While shredding, lightly toast the sandwich buns in a toaster or skillet for 2-3 minutes per side.
  7. Assemble sandwiches by spooning shredded chicken onto the bottom half of each bun, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, then top with the other half. Serve immediately.

Notes

If the sauce is too thin after shredding, cook uncovered on high for 10-15 minutes to thicken. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Toast buns to prevent sogginess. For dairy-free, substitute parmesan with nutritional yeast and use vegan mayo. For low-carb, serve over greens or lettuce wraps instead of buns.
