This quick meal week ends with a salad turned sandwich. This has all the elements a a chicken caesar salad but transformed into a savory hot sandwich. The crunch you normal get from the croutons comes from the toasted roll. The dressing and Parmesan cheese is tossed with hot shredded chicken and placed on the toasty roll with a piece of romaine. Love it!

- Place chicken in a slow cooker with 1 cup water.
- Cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours until chicken is fully cooked.
- Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred.
- Remove the water from the slow cooker.
- Return the chicken to the slow cooker and add the dressing, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and pepper over the top.

Question. How much water am I adding to the crockpot?
Made this for dinner tonight (added some red onions)…YUM!! So easy to prepare. It was a perfect light weekday meal. This will easily become a regular in our house.
BTW, I’ve made a handful of dinners following your recipes since I’ve discovered your blog on Pinterest and we’ve loved every one so far!!! Thanks for sharing.
This sounds absolutely fantastic. I can’t wait to try it.
One of my favorites. I’m making something similar tonight with rosemary roasted chicken
This looks divine! I wish I knew how to post this to Pinterest! It will definitely become a staple in my house. Amazing!
