Instructions

Step: Place all ingredients for the chicken philly cheesesteaks in a slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
Step: Cut rolls in half and place on baking sheet. Using a slotted spoon, pick up the chicken and vegetable mixture and place mixture inside each bun. Top with shredded cheese. Preheat broiler to high. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until cheese has melted and bread is lightly browned and crispy.

Notes

If you are home, you may wish to add the vegetables at the end of the cooking cycle if you’d like them to be a bit more firm. Cook chicken and broth on low for 4-5 hours, then add the vegetables for the last hour on high. You can also reserve some of the liquid from the slow cooker to use as a dip for the sandwiches.
