Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast and/or thighs
  • 1/2 cup broth or water
  • 1 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/4 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 46 slices of swiss cheese
  • 46 buns or hoagie rolls

Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp Catalina of French dressing
  • 1 Tbsp ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp stone ground mustard or spicy brown mustard

Instructions

Instant Pot Instructions:

  1. Add chicken and broth into Instant Pot. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 10 minutes for fresh chicken or 12 minutes for frozen chicken. When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
  2. Place chicken on a cutting board and chop or shred. 
  3. Discard all but a quarter cup of liquid from Instant Pot. Then add chicken back into Instant Pot. Stir in the soy sauce, parsley, basil, garlic powder and onion powder to coat the chicken.
  4. Make the sauce in a small bowl by stirring together the mayo, salad dressing, ketchup and mustard. 
  5. Lay open buns on a pan and place a slice of cheese on one side of each bun. Place under oven’s broiler (or in your toaster oven) and toast until cheese is melty and the other side of the bun is toasted.
  6. Slather one side of each bun with the sauce. Scoop chicken mixture on top of bun and serve. 

Slow Cooker Instructions:

  1. Add chicken and broth into slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
  2. Place chicken on a cutting board and chop or shred. 
  3. Discard all but a quarter cup of liquid from slow cooker. Then add chicken back into slow cooker. Stir in the soy sauce, parsley, basil, garlic powder and onion powder to coat the chicken.
  4. Make the sauce in a small bowl by stirring together the mayo, salad dressing, ketchup and mustard.

Notes

An alternative version of these sandwiches is to stir the sauce in with the shredded, cooked chicken to coat. Both versions are delicious. The sauce is the special ingredient so don’t skip it!
