Remember the first time you ever bit into a Chicken Parmesan sandwich? Remember the flood of delight as soon as the sandwich hit your tastebuds?
That’s kind of what happened when I took my first bite of this sandwich.
This recipe takes hardly any ingredients to make. It’s simple, quick, and packs a true wollop of flavor.
You only need a can of diced tomatoes, some Italian dressing and a few seasonings to make this slow-cooker shredded chicken the holy grail of sandwich meats.
This sandwich is best served with the chicken nestled under two slices of garlic bread. You can do what I did and use the store-bought, frozen garlic bread for an even easier recipe. I highly recommend melting a slice of provolone cheese on one slice, too. Bonus points if that slice of cheese is SMOKED provolone, too.
Make sure to have the fresh basil handy and you’re in for a treat. This recipe makes 4 sandwiches with some chicken leftover. I recommend tossing with a salad or serving on a flatbread or pizza!
Enjoy!
