Slow Cooker Chicken Caesar Sandwiches

As the weather is getting warmer we are looking for recipes that require less time in the kitchen so we have more time outside.  I found one...  Throwing chicken in a crockpot before you leave for work, shredded the chicken when you get home and add a few ingredients and the main course of dinner is done.  This chicken is very versatile.  Make a sandwich with it, hot or cold, put it on a salad, add noodles and it makes a noodle salad (similar to tuna salad)... oh the possibilities.  I used chicken I had previously cooked in the crockpot, shredded it and froze it.  Worked perfectly to put the frozen chicken in the crockpot, warm it back up, add the ingredients and dinner was done.  

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts (I used Chicken Breasts)
• 1/2 to 1 cup of your favorite Caesar dressing
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley or 2 teaspoons of dried parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
• 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
• 12 slider buns or 4-6 regular sized hamburger buns

Directions:

• Place chicken in a 3-4 quart slow cooker with 1-2 cups of water, cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours.  
•  Remove chicken from cooker using a slotted spoon and drain the water from the slow cooker. Place chicken on a cutting board and pull chicken into shreds, discarding any fat. 
• Place chicken back in the cooker and pour dressing, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and pepper over the top. Stir until mixed evenly. Cover and cook on high heat for 30 minutes or until mixture is hot. 
• Spoon 1/4 cup mixture onto each slider bun if you are making sliders or more for regular sized buns. Top with extra shredded Parmesan cheese and lettuce to serve.
