Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Vegetables
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
Seasonings and Liquids
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Assembly
- 4-6 hoagie rolls

Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts, sliced onion, red and green bell peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
- Shred the Chicken: Carefully remove the cooked chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir well to combine with the flavorful cooking juices and vegetables.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Slice the hoagie rolls and toast them in the oven until lightly crisp. Spoon a generous amount of the shredded chicken mixture into each toasted roll. Top each sandwich with a slice of provolone cheese or your choice of mozzarella or cheddar.
- Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and position them under the broiler in your oven for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and turned slightly bubbly. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Serve: Serve the hot chicken Philly sandwiches immediately. Enjoy this comforting and flavorful meal perfect for any day of the week.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add some sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
- You can prepare the chicken mixture a day ahead and reheat before assembling the sandwiches.
- Substitute the hoagie rolls with your favorite sandwich buns or bread.
- If you prefer, use mozzarella or cheddar cheese instead of provolone.
- Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
