Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes chopped, packed in oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 8 oz block of cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 pack Brioche buns mayo or butter for toasting

Equipment

  • Crockpot
  • Sheet pan
  • parchment paper
  • skillet

Method
 

  1. Spray a crockpot with cooking spray and add the chicken. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Next, add the minced garlic, chopped sun dried tomatoes, and chicken broth.
  2. Be sure to stir the garlic and sun dried tomatoes around. You want the sun dried tomatoes down in the chicken broth, so they don't burn.
  3. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. Once the chicken is fully cooked shred the chicken, add a block of cream cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Let this keep cooking on low until the cream cheese is melted and stir everything together well.
  4. Cook the bacon while the cream cheese is melting. Bake bacon in the oven on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes.
  5. Once the bacon is cooked, build sandwiches on toasted buns (spread with mayo or butter and toasted in a skillet over medium heat) and top with the crispy bacon. Enjoy!

Notes

Use sun dried tomatoes packed in oil in a jar, not dried. Do not drain any of the liquid/broth before shredding the chicken. Top the sandwiches with bacon to keep it crispy, or stir crumbled bacon into the chicken mixture. Shred your own mozzarella cheese for the best texture.
