Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup of Caesar dressing
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 sandwich rolls
- 1 cup of romaine lettuce
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker, ensuring they are laid flat and not overlapping.
- Pour the Caesar dressing evenly over the chicken breasts, making sure they are completely coated. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of the dressing.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Cook for 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
- Once cooking is complete, remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and transfer to a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix with the remaining cooking liquid to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Slice the sandwich rolls in half horizontally and lightly toast them if desired.
- Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into thin strips.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing a generous portion of the shredded Caesar chicken on the bottom half of each roll.
- Top the chicken with fresh romaine lettuce and cover with the top half of the roll.
- Serve immediately while the chicken is warm and enjoy your Slow Cooker Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwiches.
Tips
- For maximum flavor, use high-quality Caesar dressing and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Don't rush the cooking process - the 6-hour slow cook time is crucial for achieving incredibly tender, shreddable chicken.
- To prevent dry sandwiches, make sure to mix the shredded chicken back into the cooking liquid before assembling.
- For extra crunch, lightly toast the sandwich rolls before adding the chicken and lettuce.
- If you want to prep ahead, the chicken can be made in advance and reheated gently in the slow cooker or microwave.
- Consider adding a light sprinkle of extra Parmesan or a drizzle of additional Caesar dressing when serving for an extra flavor boost.
- Choose soft, fresh rolls that can hold up to the juicy chicken without falling apart.
