Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts roughly 3-4
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup creamy Caesar dressing
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese divided
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley washed and finely chopped
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • romaine lettuce leaves washed and patted dry
  • 6 fluffy hamburger style buns

Instructions

  • Pour the chicken broth into the bowl of your slow cooker, and then add the chicken breasts. Cover, and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the chicken's cooked through.

  • Remove the lid and transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board. Shred using two forks or a pair of meat claws. Empty any liquid from the bowl of the slow cooker, place it back in the insert, and transfer the chicken back to the bowl.
  • Add the dressing, 1/2 the cheese, parsley, pepper flakes, and salt & pepper to taste. You'll want to use twice as much freshly ground black pepper as salt. Stir everything to evenly combine. Cover, and cook another 30-45 minutes on high, stirring at least once.

  • Top the bottoms of each bun with several leaves of lettuce. Add an equal amount of the hot Caesar chicken to each bun, spreading a bit to cover until all the buns are prepped. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly out over all the buns. Top all the sandwiches with top buns. Serve immediately.

  • Like any sandwich, you can really serve these with whatever you want. We tend to serve them with a handful of potato chips and fresh fruit salad.

Notes

  • You'll want to use twice as much freshly ground black pepper as salt. Stir everything to evenly combine.
  • This chicken is delicious in a chicken Caesar wrap as well!
  • Top the sandwiches with anything you like. Other toppings that would be delicious include sliced tomatoes and thinly sliced onions and sliced mozzarella cheese.
