Ingredients
Scale
1.5 – 2 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts or Thighs
1 Large Yellow Onion, thinly sliced
2–3 Large Bell Peppers, thinly sliced (mixed colors)
4–6 Cloves Garlic, minced
8 oz Cremini or White Button Mushrooms, sliced (optional)
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth or Vegetable Broth
2 Tablespoons Vinegar
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 teaspoon Dried Basil
1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika (optional)
1/2 teaspoon Salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper, freshly ground
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
8 slices Provolone Cheese or 1.5 cups Shredded Mozzarella (Part-Skim)
6–8 Whole Wheat Hoagie Rolls
Instructions
Thinly slice the onion(s) and bell peppers. Slice the mushrooms if using. Mince the garlic cloves.
Set aside all prepared vegetables. Ensuring uniform slices helps with even cooking.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers; sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they soften. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
If sautéed, transfer vegetables to the bottom of your slow cooker; scrape any browned bits from the skillet in too. If not sautéed, place raw vegetables directly into the slow cooker.
Layer boneless chicken breasts (or thighs) on top of the vegetables.
Pour low-sodium broth and vinegar over chicken. Sprinkle with oregano, basil, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder evenly over everything.
Secure lid on slow cooker; cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Once cooked, carefully remove chicken from slow cooker onto a cutting board. Shred chicken with two forks back into the slow cooker with remaining juices and vegetables.
Stir gently to combine shredded chicken with veggies; let sit on 'Warm' setting for an additional 10-15 minutes to absorb flavors.
Lightly toast whole wheat hoagie rolls under broiler or in toaster oven until golden brown.
Pile warm chicken mixture generously onto toasted rolls. Optional: Top with cheese slices or sprinkle shredded cheese before serving hot.
