Delicious Crockpot Marry Me Chicken Sandwiches, making dinner effortless with tender chicken and creamy cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 8 oz block cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices bacon
- 6 brioche buns
- Butter or mayo for toasting buns
Instructions
- Spray crockpot with cooking spray. Add chicken breasts and season with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes, coating all sides.
- Add minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the crockpot. Pour in chicken broth and stir the garlic and tomatoes around, making sure tomatoes are submerged in the broth to prevent burning.
- Cook on low for 4-6 hours until chicken is fully cooked and easily shreds with a fork.
- Remove chicken and shred using two forks. Return shredded chicken to crockpot and add the block of cream cheese and shredded mozzarella. Continue cooking on low until cream cheese melts completely.
- Stir everything together well until the chicken is evenly coated with the creamy, cheesy mixture. Keep warm on low setting.
- While the cream cheese is melting, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
- Slice brioche buns in half and spread with butter or mayo. Toast in a skillet or under the broiler until golden brown.
- Pile the creamy chicken mixture generously on the bottom halves of toasted buns. Top with crispy bacon and the top bun. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like basil or parsley.
- Make sure to check the chicken for doneness before shredding.
- This recipe can also be made with turkey breast as a substitute.
