SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN CAESAR SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spray 3 1/2- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Mix chicken thighs, chicken broth and 1 cup of the Caesar dressing in slow cooker. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 5 1/2 to 6 hours or on High heat setting 3 to 4 hours or until chicken is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
• Transfer chicken to cutting board. Shred chicken with 2 forks. Drain remaining liquid from slow cooker; return shredded chicken to slow cooker along with remaining 1 cup Caesar dressing and the pepper. Cover; cook on High heat setting about 30 minutes or until mixture is hot.
• Spoon chicken mixture onto bottom halves of rolls. Top each with a lettuce leaf and some of the basil, if desired, followed by tops of rolls.
• Freezer Directions: In gallon-size resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix 1 cup of the Caesar dressing and the broth. Add chicken thighs to bag. Squeeze out any excess air, and lay flat to freeze. To cook: Thaw chicken in refrigerator overnight. Place in slow cooker; continue as directed above.

CHICKEN CAESAR SANDWICHES FOR SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Place chicken in 3-4 quart slow cooker with 1-2 cups water (more for longer cooking times). Cover and cook on low 4-6 hours (I have done 2 cups water with an 8 hr on low with auto-change to warm setting for total 12 hrs before eating.).
• Remove chicken and drain water from the crock pot. Place chicken on cutting board and pull into shreds. Remove any fat.
• Place chicken back in slow cooker and mix in dressing, Parmesan cheese, chopped or dried parsley, and pepper. (I used less than 1/2 cup dressing, figuring the kids wouldn't like it and we could always add to our sandwiches if needed. We all thought the flavor was perfect with less dressing!).
• The original recipe recommended to cook another 30 min on high. We skipped this step because we're all hungry when we get home late!
• Spoon onto buns. (We use slider buns for "fun factor" but those are not stored in the ingredient list here.) Top with extra Parmesan cheese and shredded lettuce as desired.

CHICKEN CAESAR SANDWICHES (CROCK-POT STYLE)

Steps:

• 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. ENJOY!!
