3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 1 28 oz jar spaghetti sauce, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1/4 tsp onion powder, salt & pepper
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or HIGH for 4.
Using two forks, or a pair of meat claws, shred the cooked chicken and stir until evenly combined with the sauce.
Lightly toast the buns under the broiler, watch carefully to prevent burning. Top the toasted buns with some of the sauced, shredded chicken and a bit of shredded mozzarella cheese.
12-16 count pkg slider buns, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Place the chicken sandwiches under the broiler to melt cheese. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

Notes

Nothing should stick to the bottom of the pot, but I recommend lightly spraying the bowl of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray before beginning to prevent sauce from sticking to the sides and to help make cleanup easier.
Don't have chicken breasts handy? Boneless chicken thighs will also work. Remove the skin (if they have any), and trim excess fat before using. Some swear dark meat ends up more tender anyway!
Looking for a way to give the leftovers new life? This saucy chicken mixture can also be served over warm, cooked pasta before being topped with shredded cheese and broiled to perfection.
