Slow Cooker Hot Cheesy Chicken Bacon Sandwiches

Tonight for dinner my family greatly enjoyed these Hot Cheesy Chicken Bacon Sandwiches. It is quick to throw together and set in the slow cooker to warm through. By dinner time you will have a warm and delicious filling for sandwiches.

In the freezer section of most grocery stores there are already baked dinner rolls and French bread rolls which only require a few minutes to warm in the oven.  They are sold in a bag by the brand Rhodes and are called “Warm & Serv.” We used the soft yeast rolls tonight, brushed with a bit of melted butter before baking. The result was fantastic. I can’t rave enough about that line of products. The Artisan French Rolls are my favorite.

• After three hours, add the last cup of shredded cheese and the cooked bacon to the top and recover. Let warm for another 20 minutes and serve on warm buns.

Notes

Note: This recipe uses already cooked chicken. I used pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from Costco which is very flavorful and moist. If you bake your own chicken for this, please be careful not to over bake it and dry it out. Also, please be careful to set your Slow Cooker to “warm” and not on the low/high setting accidentally.
