Incredibly easy slow cooker chicken parmesan sandwiches. These are perfect for a crowd, a kid’s party, or just an easy weeknight meal.
These sandwiches are truly a dump and go recipe. I would say that isn’t the most appealing phrase for food, but it is appealing in the sense that it is easy. Dump and go makes it sound like the recipe is not going to be flavorful and satisfying; however, I can guarantee that these chicken parmesan sandwiches are super flavorful, and everyone is going to love them. They are definitely a kid friendly and crowd-pleasing meal.
You start by turning on your slow cooker, spraying it with olive oil spray, adding in the chicken, 6 cloves of minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and 2 cups of your favorite marinara sauce. Stir, cover and cook on low for several hours. Come back home, shred the chicken, toast some bread and a super easy meal is ready. We ate our chicken parmesan sandwiches with a Caesar Salad, but green beans, carrots, and brussel sprouts are all nice additions to this meal.

- Easy Garlic Bread:
- Preheat oven's broiler. Mix the garlic powder and Italian seasoning together in a small bowl.
- Separate the bread halves, and spread the melted butter onto the bread. Sprinkle the garlic/Italian mixture over the bread.
- Broil or toast until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Keep a close eye on the bread as it will brown quickly.
- Divide chicken over two slices of bread. Sprinkle with cheese on top and place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
