🍗🍅Crockpot Italian Grinder Chicken Sandwiches Ingredients * 2 lbs chicken breasts * 1 packet Italian dressing seasoning * 1 cup chicken broth * 1 jar (16 oz) banana peppers, drained * ½ red onion, sliced * 3–4 cloves garlic, minced * 8 oz cream cheese or 1 cup plain Greek yogurt for a higher-protein option * 1½–2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese or ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese For Serving * Hoagie rolls * Shredded lettuce * Sliced tomatoes * Thinly sliced red onion * Banana peppers Directions 1. Add the chicken, Italian seasoning, chicken broth, banana peppers, red onion, and garlic to a crockpot. 2. Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or until the chicken shreds easily. 3. Shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. 4. Stir in the cream cheese (or Greek yogurt) and mozzarella (or Parmesan) until creamy and well combined. 5. Serve on toasted hoagie rolls. 6. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and banana peppers for that classic grinder flavor. Tip: For a higher-protein version, swap the cream cheese for plain Greek yogurt. If using Greek yogurt, stir it in after cooking and let it warm through rather than boiling it to keep it smooth. 🥖🧀🥬🍅
