Chicken Philly Cheese Steaks have tender chicken, piles of veggies and topped with swiss cheese. A fun and different dinner idea.

We love to make our favorite restaurant-style sandwiches right in the slow cooker. You can also make Beef Philly Cheese Steaks.

How to make Chicken Philly Cheese Steaks in the Crockpot:

  • Chicken – Boneless chicken breasts.
  • Broth – Adding chicken broth will keep the chicken moist.
  • Seasonings – Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  • Veggies – Bell peppers, onions and mushrooms.
  • Sandwich fixings – Hoagie rolls and swiss cheese.

How long do I cook?

  • First chicken, broth, and seasonings cook for 6 hours on low in the slow cooker.
  • Then the onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms are added. Cook for 1.5 hours more.

  • After the veggies are done cooking, shred the chicken with 2 forks.
  • Pile the chicken and veggies on hoagie rolls and add swiss cheese. You can melt the cheese under the broiler in the oven if desired.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

  • Yes, but be sure to trim off as much fat as possible before cooking.
  • Cook for the same cooking time as you would for breasts.

How can I make these into Chicken French Dips?

  • Add 3 cups of chicken broth instead of one.
  • Then when the cooking time is up, strain the juices and serve those juices in little bowls.
  • Dip your sandwiches into the chicken au jus.

      I love this recipe!

      The chicken is so moist and falls apart with a fork when touched. I made sure the chicken was covered with chicken broth. I then in chicken broth on stove saltae the veggies

      I stuck to the recipe except used low sodium chicken broth and provolone cheese. It was pretty tasteless, very disappointed.
