Slow Cooker Chicken Philly

Yesterday, we posted our slow cooker version of the Philadelphia classic, Philly Cheesesteak. Today, we wanted to show you another version of the sandwich because in our opinion, two phillies is always better than one.

This Chicken Philly is also made in the slow cooker. In the crock, combine chicken tenders, sliced green peppers, onion slices, rotisserie seasoning and salt. Cook on HIGH for 2 to 2 ½ hours or LOW for 4 to 5 hours. Once the chicken is cooked through, take the tenders out of the crock and slice them. Add the chicken back to the crock then prepare your chicken Philly sandwiches.

Divide the chicken mixture among sliced hoagies rolls and top with Italian dressing and a slice of sharp cheddar or american cheese. Place the sandwiches under the broiler until the cheese is melted.

Serve this chicken Philly with extra Italian dressing, banana peppers, ketchup, or hot sauce. The whole family can mix and match toppings until everyone finds their favorite combination. Serve both the chicken Philly and the Philly cheesesteak at your next watch party or trade off between both recipes for a hand-held lunch or dinner. Extra beef or chicken? Leftovers can easily be used to make fajitas or as toppings for rice bowls throughout the week.
