Slow Cooker Chicken Caesar
Sandwiches
Source: Sweet Treats and More
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/2 to 1 cup of your favorite Caesar dressing (I like Cardini's and Brianna's Asiago Caesar)
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley (if you don't have fresh use around 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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Place chicken back in the cooker and pour dressing, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and pepper over the top. I really make sure that I discard any fat pieces so by the time I was done I only used about 1/2 cup of dressing but you make need more if you have more chicken. Stir until mixed evenly. Cover and cook on high heat for 30 minutes or until mixture is hot.
4. 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.

Slow Cooker Creamy
Tacos
2
pounds chicken breast pieces (mine were frozen solid)
1 (14.5-ounce) can fire roasted tomatoes (you can use garlic-seasoned, or plain in a pinch. I wouldn't do tomatoes with chiles if feeding kids)
1 (10-ounce) container PHILADELPHIA Cooking Creme--- Santa Fe flavor
taco shells or corn tortillas
optional fixins': sour cream, avocado slices
optional add-ins to stretch the meal to feed more people: 1 cup frozen corn, or 1 can corn, drained, 1 can black or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
The Directions.
Use a 4-quart slow cooker (if adding the optional add-ins, a 6-quart might be a better fit).
Put the chicken into your cooker. Add the entire can of tomatoes. Scrape out all the Cooking Creme (lick the container. It's GOOD!)
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until chicken shreds easily with a fork. Stir well and serve in taco shells or corn tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Take
chicken out, shred and return to crock-pot for another 2 hours on MEDIUM
- Wingless Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Ingredients
o 2 large chicken breast halves
o extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
o 2 teaspoons grill seasoning
o 1 pound pizza dough, store bought or homemade
o 2 tablespoons butter
o 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
o 2 to 3 tablespoons wing sauce
o 1/2 cup tomato sauce
o 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
o 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles (just add more mozzarella
instead)
o 3 scallions, thinly sliced
Instructions
Preheat
the oven to 425F. Preheat a grill pan.
Cut
the chicken breasts open like a book to create 4 thinner pieces of chicken.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the grill seasoning. When the grill is
hot, add the chicken and cook until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
Stretch
the dough to form a pizza either using your hands or by rolling out with a
rolling pin. Set the dough on a pizza pan, or if using a pizza stone, set your
dough on a pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal or covered with a piece of
parchment paper.
In
a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add in the Worcestershire,
hot sauce and tomato sauce.
When
the chicken is done, remove to a cutting board and let rest for a few minutes.
Thinly slice, then add to the hot sauce mixture and stir to coat the chicken.
Cover the pizza dough with the chicken and sauce, then top with mozzarella,
blue cheese and scallions.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and cook
until the dough has browned and the cheese is bubbly, about 18 minutes
