One of my favorite solutions to the dining dilemma is chicken breast in the crock pot. At the start of the week I throw a pound or two of boneless chicken breasts in with some broth, cook it for a few hours, shred it and have numerous meal options throughout the week.
The repertoire usually includes chicken salad, bbq chicken or thrown in with a tossed salad, but this week thanks to Jenna's Cooking Journey, my Secret Recipe Club match, we had a new chicken dish in the rotation - Chicken Cesar Sliders. These wonderfully simple and tasty sandwiches were a big hit with all and will definitely stay in the rotation.
Besides these delicious sliders Jenna's blog is filled with many wonderful recipes. She participates in a lot of different blog challenges - my favorite is the "Whats Baking Challenge" I am looking for an excuse to bake her latest recipe for cream cheese delights.
Crockpot Chicken Caesar Sliders
2 lbs. boneless chicken breast
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon onion powder
Salt and pepper
1/2 to 1 cup Caesar salad dressing
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, rolls
Place chicken in a 3-4 quart slow cooker. Add broth garlic, onion powder and salt and pepper. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. Using a slotted spoon remove cooked chicken, allow to cool slightly. Remove any fat from chicken and broth. Using two forks shred chicken. Place shredded chicken back in slow cooker, add Caesar dressing and Parmesan cheese, stir until coated. Cook for an additional 15-30 minutes.
Serve on toasted rolls with lettuce, tomatoes and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
