Ingredients

2 teaspoons smoked paprika
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon coriander
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 green peppers, cored and sliced into thin strips
1 large yellow onion, sliced into thin strips
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, or thighs
3 Tablespoons steak sauce, like Heinz 57
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
Sliced provolone
Hoagie buns
Mayonnaise, mustard, or 1000 Island dressing for spreading on buns

Instructions

Spray a 4- or 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. (You may use a 6-quart slow cooker but your chicken will be done sooner)
In a small bowl, combine paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, coriander, red pepper flakes, and dried thyme. Set aside.
2 teaspoons smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon coriander, ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, ½ teaspoon dried thyme
Add sliced green peppers and sliced onions to the bottom of the slow cooker.
2 green peppers,, 1 large yellow onion,
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon the dried seasonings on top of the peppers and onions.
Place chicken into a gallon-size ziplock bag. Add steak seace and toss to coat. Now add the remaining dry seasoning to the bag and toss again ensuring all the chicken gets coated.
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts,, 3 Tablespoons steak sauce,
Lay the chicken pieces over the peppers and onions in the slow cooker.
Pour chicken broth around the edges of the crockpot.
½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
Cook on low for 4 or 5 hours, until internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160F degrees. (If using a 6-quart slow cooker, the chicken might be done after 3 hours)
Once chicken reaches desired doneness, remove to a carving board. Using 2 forks, shred the chicken, tent with aluminum foil and set aside.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the peppers/onions from the slow cooker and then pour the liquid out of the slow cooker into a cup or liquid measure.
Return the peppers, onions, and shredded chicken to the slow cooker and add enough of the liquid back in to keep the chicken moist, about ¼ cup to start and add more as needed. Keep the slow cooker on warm or low until ready to serve.
Toast the buns under the oven broiler. Add some of the chicken and pepper mixture on each bottom half of the bun and top with Provolone cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
Sliced provolone, Hoagie buns
Spread mayo, mustard, or 1000 Island Dressing on sandwiches before closing tops and serving.
