Crock-Pot Hot Chicken Sandwiches

Use up leftover cooked chicken in this tasty & cheesy recipe for Crock-Pot Hot Chicken Sandwiches! Perfect for lunch or dinner any day of the week!

Slow Cooker Hot Chicken Sandwiches

I love to make up these warm and cheesy hot chicken sandwiches because I really hate to waste leftovers. So, whenever I have some leftover cooked chicken (or I spot a great deal on chicken) I whip up these easy to make sandwiches. The filling has just 5 ingredients and only takes 2 to 3 hours to cook in the slow cooker.

If you don’t have leftover cooked chicken, you can either cook up some chicken the day before like in this recipe for Crock-Pot Roasted Herbed Chicken. Or grab a rotisserie chicken from your local grocery store deli.

These sandwiches are perfect for a Saturday or Sunday lunch. And the filling is easy to re-heat if you want to make sandwiches throughout the week.

Equipment Needed For Crock-Pot Hot Chicken Sandwiches Recipe:

• 5 Quart, 5.5 Quart, 6 Quart, 6.5 Quart Or 7 Quart Slow Cooker
• Knife
• Cutting Board
• Cheese Grater
• Measuring Cup

Common Questions:

How Many Cooked Chicken Breasts Will Make 8 Cups Of Diced Chicken?

The quantity of diced chicken will vary depending on the size of your chicken breasts. But I would say 3 large breasts or about 5 medium breasts should be enough.

Can I Use Other Cuts Of Cooked Chicken?

You can indeed use any cut of cooked chicken. From chicken breasts, chicken thighs, chicken legs or a whole cooked chicken.

Can I Use Pre-Shredded Cheddar Cheese?

While I prefer to shred or grate my own cheese whenever possible (I find it just has a better flavor and texture), to save time you can use the bagged pre-shredded cheddar cheese found in most grocery stores.
