Ingredients
- 1 lb lean chicken breast
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Whole wheat hoagie rolls
- Low-fat cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chicken breast in the slow cooker. Ensure it’s flat to allow even cooking.
- Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic over the chicken. Distributing the vegetables evenly helps them cook properly.
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. This mixture will keep the chicken moist and infuse it with flavor.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remember, it’s easier to add more later, so start with a little.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is done when it shreds easily with a fork.
- Remove the chicken and use two forks to shred it. Mix it with the veggies in the slow cooker until well combined.
- Serve the mixture in whole wheat hoagie rolls and top with low-fat cheese if desired. It’s perfect for a hearty but healthy meal!
Notes
For a stronger flavor, consider using chicken broth instead of beef broth. Customize the seasoning based on your preference.
