Slow Cooker recipes are the best, aren’t they? Especially when you can just toss everything into the crock pot, walk away, and hours later come back to the most delicious dinner ever! These Slow Cooker Chicken Philly Sandwiches couldn’t be easier to make. Chicken, peppers and onions get tossed in the slow cooker and then hours later you’ve got a tender mixture to pile high on hoagie rolls with lots of melty cheese.

As far as cheese goes, I like to use White American cheese, just because it tends to melt the best. You could also use provolone, or even swiss cheese if that sounds good to you. Once you pile the tender chicken, peppers and onions onto a hoagie roll, you’ll top it with cheese and either broil or bake the sandwiches. If you like your sandwich toasty, broil it. If you like your sandwich more on the softer side, wrap each sandwich individually in foil and bake them for about 8 minutes to melt the cheese. I tend to like my sandwiches on the softer side, so I usually bake them.

I haven’t attempted to make a more traditional Philly Cheesesteak in the crockpot, but I do have an awesome recipes for Philly Cheesesteaks made on the stovetop. That recipe can be found here (it’s gotten rave reviews!).

If you are looking for a quick and easy dinner idea that you can make in the crock pot, give these Slow Cooker Chicken Philly Sandwiches a try. You can’t go wrong with tender chicken, peppers, and onions piled high on a hoagie roll with lots of melty cheese.
