Ingredients

  • 3-4 chicken breasts
  • 1 package of Italian dressing seasoning
  • half a jar of banana peppers and a little of the juice from the jar
  • crusty bread
  • provolone cheese
  • ranch dressing

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts, Italian seasoning, and banana peppers with juice in a slow cooker on low for 5 hours.
  • At the end of 5 hours, use a fork to shred the chicken. Add the chicken back into the slow cooker and let it warm up until the sandwich is ready to make.
  • Cut and toast your bread. About halfway through the toasting process, add a slice of provolone cheese to the bread and let it fully melt.
  • Add the chicken to the sandwich and top with ranch dressing and banana peppers.

Notes

  • Toast the buns before assembling for better texture.
  • Use chicken thighs if you prefer extra-juicy, richer meat.
