Description
A creamy and flavorful chicken filling nestled in soft sandwich buns, perfect for quick meals or feeding a crowd.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 cup crushed buttery crackers (optional, for thickening)
- 6 soft sandwich buns or rolls
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in a large saucepan or slow cooker.
- Season the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and a small pinch of salt.
- Pour the chicken broth over the chicken.
- Add the cream of chicken soup directly from the can.
- Cover and simmer over low heat for about 45 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- If using a slow cooker, cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks and return it to the pot, stirring it back into the creamy sauce.
- If the mixture seems too thin, stir in crushed buttery crackers until you reach the desired consistency.
- Let sit for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
- Serve the shredded chicken on soft sandwich buns with optional toppings like pickles, lettuce, or cheese.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding buffalo or barbecue sauce to the mixture. You can also use rotisserie chicken to save time.
