SSkinny Philly Chicken Cheesesteak Sandwiches: Made Easily in a Crock-Pot

Skinny Philly Chicken Cheesesteak Sandwiches in the Crock-Pot

Ingredients
  

Ingredients for Crock-Pot:

  • 1½ pounds chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
  • 3 cups onions, sliced
  • 2 cups red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cups yellow, orange or green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 (10 oz.) package mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 (1 oz.) packet Italian dressing dry mix, see shopping tips
  • 1 (14 oz.) can reduced-sodium chicken broth

Ingredients for Sandwiches:

  • 8 hot dog buns, use your favorite, see shopping tips
  • 1 cup reduced-fat cheddar or mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions
 

  • Coat the crock-pot with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken in crock-pot. Top with onions, sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, and garlic. Add barbecue sauce and sprinkle the packet of Italian dressing seasoning mix over the top. Pour the chicken broth all over.
  • Cover and cook on low for about 6-7 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high. The time varies depending on your crock-pot. Mine took 6 hours on low. Remove chicken from crock-pot and cut into slices. Add chicken back to vegetables and sauce in crock-pot. Mix to blend.
  • To assemble each sandwich: On a baking sheet, add the hot dog bun and add 1 cup chicken filling onto the bun. Spoon 3 tablespoons sauce over the chicken. Top with 2 tablespoons cheese. Assemble all the sandwiches you want to serve on the baking sheet. Place in the oven and broil for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese and toast the buns. Keep an eye on it so they don’t burn.
  • Add each to a plate. Serve with a fork and knife. You’re going to need it. Too messy to eat with your hands but oh so good!
  • For a low carb option: Add 1 cup chicken mixture to each bowl. Spoon 3 tablespoons sauce over the top. Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons cheese and serve with a fork and knife. Or, make it a cheesesteak salad.
