Crock-Pot Crack Chicken Sandwiches
I love an easy crock-pot meal during the week. The work week can be super hectic around here, so I love a meal I can throw in the crock-pot before work. These Crack Chicken Sandwiches are a family favorite. I usually have most of these ingredients on hand, so layering them in the slow cooker is fast and easy. I set it on low and come home to a hearty dinner ready to serve.
I use boneless, skinless chicken breast, a packet of dry ranch seasoning mix, a packet of dry au jus mix, half a stick of butter, a block of cream cheese, and some pepperoncinis. I prefer the sliced pepperoncinis, but the whole ones work just as well. My husband is not a fan of heat, so he prefers the whole ones so he can pick them out easily. I know! That's crazy behavior!
If you aren't aquainted with slow cookers, they can be the working person's best friend. It is so easy to throw in some ingredients in the morning and let them cook all day. There's little to do once you get home. And most crock-pots have a feature that moves the food to warm after the cooking time. I love this 8-quart, programmable model Crockpot (associate link) since I have a big family. It's the most versatile model available at a great price. It's the one I use weekly!
However, here is a great, budget-friendly model, while not programmable, it still delivers great cooking all day while you're at work: Crock-Pot 7-quart manual slow cooker.
