I’ve been working nights so slow cooker suppers have been a life saver when it comes to making sure my boys get a good meal. Needless to say I’ve been scouring the net for new crock pot ideas. I came across this idea and fell in love with it. Anything I can throw into the slow cooker and know that the boys are going to like it, works for me. All they had to do was assemble their sandwiches when they were ready to eat.
Slow Cooker Chicken Parmigiana Sandwiches
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cans (15 oz. ea.) tomato sauce
1 can (15 oz.) diced tomatoes with juice
12 oz. tomato paste
2 cups sweet, yellow onion, finely diced
1 T (or 2 cloves) garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp oregano
2 bay leaves
4 T fresh basil, chopped fine, or 1 tsp dried
salt & pepper, to taste
sliced or shredded mozzarella cheese
grated Parmesan cheese
6 hard rolls
1. Start slow cooker on low heat and spray with cooking spray. Place chicken inside.
2. Mix together tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, paste, garlic, onions, and herbs. Stir until well combined. Pour over chicken and turn to coat.
3. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook on low 6 hours.
4. Shred the chicken using two forks. Replace back into slow cooker and stir everything well.
5. Slice hard rolls and lightly toast, if desired. *They’re awesome with a little bit of butter. Use tongs or slotted spoon to portion out the chicken onto the rolls, tapping off excess sauce. Top with cheeses.

These look wonderful and i will add this to my arsenal of slow cooker recipes. Are you a nurse? I guess it just sounded to mne like you were in this post!
No, not a nurse. Thought about doing that back when I was in school, but realized I’m too much of an under achiever. Employability in my town is horrible so I’ve been waiting tables while looking for work.
Girl, with you looking so darn young I bet you make great tips! Of course your feet and back must hurt big time. Under achiever huh? well ——-how long have ya been doing the blog? It takes so much effort and persistance and creativity etc….nope, don’t believe you are an under achiever! 🙂 love ya! xoxox
