Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs or boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 2 medium sweet onions, sliced
  • 4 medium sweet bell peppers (any colors), seeded and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 8 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise and toasted

Instructions

  • Place the chicken, onions, bell peppers, and garlic in the bottom of a slow cooker. Drizzle with olive oil; toss to coat. Season the chicken and veggies liberally with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Toss to coat everything in the seasoning.

  • Cover and cook on LOW for about 4-6 hours, or on HIGH for about 2-3 hours. Remove the chicken to a cutting board. Slice the meat or shred with two forks. Return the chicken to the slow cooker and stir it into the vegetables.

  • Arrange the cheese slices on top of the chicken mixture. Cover with the lid and continue cooking just until the cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes.

Notes

  • Season the meat and vegetables liberally with salt and pepper. Taste and add more when it's done. That's a lot of meat and veggies, so it requires a good amount of seasoning so that it doesn't taste bland.
  • Use either boneless, skinless chicken breasts or boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this recipe. We find that the dark meat thighs stay a bit juicier during the slow cooking process, but they are both great.
