Sabrina’s Slow Cooker Chicken Caesar Sandwiches Recipe
Slow Cooker Chicken Caesar Sandwiches are another in the ever growing list of slow cooker sandwiches that are on the site. I know it seems like we’ve been barreling through these sort of quickly, but I have to say they are changing the way we eat here at home. And, they are so much more delicious than plain, old deli meat.

LOVE this recipe! We had it for supper on toasted hoagies with romaine & tomato and it was delicious. The homemade Caesar dressing really knocks it out of the ballpark.
I have a question, I’m home, rainy day, I have boneless, skinless breast but, no thighs! I really want to cook this today lol but, I’ll also admit, I’m being lazy!!
Can I use the breast? Without the skin, I was concerned it maybe too dry!! Help
I am just seeing this tonight. I am sure the recipe has long been cooked/or not but I still want to try to help.
You could do the chicken breasts for 6 hours.
Possibly a silly question, but I must ask. Parmesan cheese: grated or shredded? Big difference in a recipe. I found out the hard way. : (
Shredded 🙂
I’m so excited to try this, I’m actually going to try this with a rotisserie chicken I bought and adding some spinach leave. I will come back with an update
This is the most amazing recipe! We have it every month! I use Ken’s Steakhouse Creamy Caesar instead of making my own. Absolutely delicious and leftovers are just as yummy!
My kids eat it on potato buns and I layer it on top of fresh spinach. Delicious!
Thanks, Stefanie! I really appreciate you taking the time to come back and let me know how much you enjoyed it!
If made with boneless skinless thighs, what would the cooking time be?
I’d suggest 4-5 hours.
Dumb question but do you serve this hot or cold?
Either way works great!
Thanks! You’re right – worked great both ways. Super easy to make and everyone enjoyed it.
Do you add any liquid to the slow cooker? (I assume this is a crock pot?)
No need to add any liquid in the slow cooker while the chicken cooks. The fat from the skin will render down and allow the chicken to stay moist. Enjoy!
Has anyone every tried this over salad for a low carb option? Do you think it will taste ok that way?
You could definitely put this over a salad or even use lettuce as the “bun” for a low carb option. Enjoy!
Can I just use boneless chicken breasts instead ? I don’t care for chicken thighs. How many would I use ?
I hesitate to say yes because they tend to dry out very quickly in the slow cooker. My suggestion would be to at least use skin on as that will help keep it moist.
How easy to do this in the crock pot! Gotta add it to my list!
Thank you Brandy!
QUESTION: Looks delicious. But can I use boneless skinless thighs and then I can skip the “take the bone and skin” off the chicken step? And perhaps use my electric fry pan instead of slow cooker???
Yes, you can use that method too but I just love the ease of using a slow cooker.
Yeah, deli meat can be scary! I’m happy you found this much more delicious solution.
Me too Erin!
Great idea! I’ve been trying to use my slower cooker more often lately and this sounds like a great one to try!
Let it do the work and give us a break, right?! Enjoy!
Your slow cooker sandwiches are always killer! And I’d much rather one of these than a regular deli sandwich. And I know that my husband, who’s a giant Caesar fan, will flip over these sandwiches!
Thanks! Hope he enjoys it as much as we did!
I could eat these every day! So yummy!
I hear you… lunch meat can get old reallllly fast. These look fantastic!!
Thanks Amanda!
This looks like lunch this week ! Yum!
Perfect!!
