1 cup Caesar dressing

Gather all ingredients before starting for a smooth cooking experience.

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

In the slow cooker, combine the chicken breasts, Caesar dressing, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.

Cook the Chicken

Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.

Shred the Chicken

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker and mix well with the sauce.

Assemble the Sandwiches

To assemble, place a generous portion of the chicken mixture on each sandwich roll. Top with shredded romaine lettuce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Serve

Optional: Drizzle with extra Caesar dressing before serving. Enjoy your sandwiches warm!

Serve immediately while warm, or keep in a sealed container for leftovers.

Tips for Success

To ensure your chicken is perfectly tender, avoid lifting the lid of the slow cooker during cooking. This helps maintain a consistent temperature and allows the flavors to meld beautifully. If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken and simply mix it with the Caesar dressing and spices for a quicker preparation.

For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the Caesar dressing for a few hours or overnight before cooking. This extra step infuses the meat with even more flavor, making your sandwiches unforgettable.

Serving Suggestions

When serving these sandwiches, consider pairing them with a light side salad or some crispy sweet potato fries. The freshness of a salad complements the richness of the chicken, while fries add a delightful crunch. You can also offer a variety of dipping sauces on the side for an extra flavor boost.

For those looking to make these sandwiches a bit healthier, opt for whole grain rolls or lettuce wraps instead of traditional sandwich rolls. This way, you can enjoy all the flavors without the extra carbs, making them a great option for health-conscious diners.
