1/4/2012 - Slow Cooker Chicken Caesar Sandwiches

This is a slow cooker kind of day! I was packing, and cleaning so it was nice to have the chicken in the slowcooker and not have to really worry about it. (that is if my slow cooker worked right) I put on dinner at noon because we wanted to eat around 5:00 well our slow cooker is a hunk of junk! I set it on the 10 hour setting and the chicken was fully cooked with in an hour maybe 2. Stupid thing so I shut off the slow cooker and waited till closer to 5 to turn it back on. we had slider buns that we used for the sandwiches (I try not to eat a lot of bread so these were perfect)I used regular classic ceasar next time i will use lite I think. It is something different that's for sure. But Justin likes it I liked it a lot better with a little bit of melted cheese on top.

Slow Cooker Chicken Caesar Sandwiches

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/2 to 1 cup of your favorite Caesar dressing
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley (I used 2 teaspoons of dried parsley)
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce (we didn't used lettuce)
12 slider buns or 4-6 regular sized hamburger buns

1. Place chicken in a 3-4 quart slow cooker with 1-2 cups of water, cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours.

2. Remove chicken from cooker using a slotted spoon and drain the water from the slow cooker. Place chicken on a cutting board and pull chicken into shreds, discarding any fat.

3. Place chicken back in the cooker and pour dressing, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and pepper over the top. I really make sure that I discard any fat pieces so by the time I was done I only used about 1/2 cup of dressing but you make need more if you have more chicken. Stir until mixed evenly. Cover and cook on high heat for 30 minutes or until mixture is hot.

4. Spoon 1/4 cup mixture onto each slider bun if you are making sliders or more for regular sized buns. Top with extra shredded Parmesan cheese and lettuce to serve.
