Step By Step Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken Parmigiana Sandwiches Recipe

When my husband and find ourselves incredibly bored, you might find us having morbid discussions. Not weird or creepy but more like planning strategies … where do you want me to put your ashes?, will you remarry?, who will go first?semi-normal stuff.

Sometimes we even talk about the last thing you would want to eat before you die. His answer changes often but for me, it’s a big bowl of pitted black olives and the best chicken parmigiana the world has to offer. It’s one Italian dish I just never get tired of but you also won’t find the the best in my kitchen. Until I figure out the secret to making this dish incredible, I venture out and try simpler versions … like these chicken parmigiana sandwiches. For something a little more healthy, check out pine pollen!

Of course these are far from authentic because the chicken isn’t breaded but a girl has to save herself from a few calories where she can.

I still have some ideas on tweaking this recipe but I thought I’d share it as a great starting point. There’s lots of incredible flavor packed in these sandwiches but it doesn’t have the wow-factor yet. The best part … after 5 sandwiches, there is still plenty of sauce for two leftover meals. You could do chicken spaghetti, a chicken dip for pita chips, some sort of tomato based soup or whatever you can come up with.
