Our family loves to cook. We're always trying new recipes. The only problem is that when you try so many recipes, it's hard to keep track of them all! So, we're going to post and share our recipe favorites here--both old and new.

This Is a Slow Cooker Recipe?
Slow Cooker Tuscan-Style Chicken Sandwiches
Ingredients:
1 1/4 lb (about 6) boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup roasted red bell pepper (from a jar), cut into bite sized strips
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons purchased pesto
1 (10 in) focaccia (Italian Flat Bread)
6 slices tomato
Directions:
Place chicken thighs in 3 1/2 or 4 quart slow cooker. Sprinkle with garlic, roasted pepper strips and salt.
Cover; cook on Low setting for 6 to 7 hours.
Just before serving, remove chicken from slow cooker; place on large plate. Shred chicken with 2 forks; return to slow cooker and mix well.
In small bowl, combine mayonnaise and pesto; blend well. Cut focaccia into 6 wedges; split each in half. Spread cut sides with mayonnaise mixture. With slotted spoon, place about 1/3 cup chicken mixture onto bottom half of each focaccia wedge. Top each with tomato slice and top half of focaccia.

Cook's Note: I used our homemade pesto and this was wonderful. I really wish I had made more when our basil was producing, but an early frost just took it for good. Also, I used ciabatta instead of focaccia and it worked well. I think either would be fine. This was a really easy recipe and would work for bigger groups.
