Tips for the Best Results

For optimal flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the Caesar dressing overnight. This extra step will infuse the chicken with even more taste, making it a standout component of your sandwich. Additionally, feel free to experiment with different brands of Caesar dressing to find the one that best suits your palate—each brand has its unique flavor profile.

To ensure even cooking, make sure the chicken breasts are of similar size. If you’re using chicken breasts that vary significantly in thickness, it could lead to uneven cooking and shredding. If necessary, pound the chicken to a uniform thickness before placing it in the slow cooker.

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have leftovers, store the shredded chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. It can also be frozen for longer storage—just make sure to label the container with the date. When you're ready to enjoy it again, simply thaw the chicken in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat it on the stove or in the microwave before assembling your sandwiches.

When reheating, consider adding a splash of fresh Caesar dressing to restore moisture and flavor to the chicken. This simple addition helps maintain the delicious taste and texture of the dish, ensuring that your leftovers are just as enjoyable as the first serving.
