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.

Very bland.
It’s not a bad recipe, but needs more spices and your cooking the chicken way too long.
Can this be done with frozen chicken breast?
I recommend thawing meats for all my recipes.
Can I cook this on high to reduce cooking time?
Yes, for 3.5- 4 hours will work.
I was so excited for this but unfortunately it’s very bland. I even added seasonings and salt and pepper to try and jazz it up but no luck. Just tasted like boiled chicken in water
I made this tonight in my Instant Pot and we really enjoyed it! I doubled the amount of spices, added onion powder and half of a zucchini that needed to be used. I ate mine over riced cauliflower, while the others were served as sandwiches on buns. Very healthy and easy! Thanks!
What settings did you use on the instapot.
During the hot Oklahoma summer, I used pulled rotisserie chicken from the deli and low sodium chicken broth. Since the chicken is pre cooked I added the veggies at the same time as the chicken and reduced the cooking time to 2 hrs.
This was really good. Hubby lived it.
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.
Great tasting and easy!
