Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 ounces onion soup mix equivalent of one envelope
  • 1 ounce au jus gravy mix equivalent of one envelope
  • 6 sub sandwich buns
  • 12 slices provolone cheese

Instructions
 

  • Add chicken breasts to slow cooker. Top with sliced onions.
  • In a small bowl use a whisk to combine the minced garlic, chicken broth, worcestershire sauce and onion soup mix. Pour this mixture over the chicken and onions in the crock.
  • Set your slow cooker to cook on low for 6 hours.
  • Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, dump out most of the liquid in the slow cooker into a bowl or large measuring cup. Reserve.
  • Use two forks to shred the chicken.
  • On the stovetop make the au jus gravy mix according to directions. Use the leftover liquid from the slow cooker as a replacement for water. If you don't have enough for the mix ingredients, then add water.
  • Line the sub sandwich buns with provolone cheese — a slice on the inside top and bottom.
  • Pour the au jus gravy into individual dipping bowls.
  • Stuff the sub sandwich buns with shredded chicken and serve. Give everyone their own dipping bowl of au jus gravy. Enjoy.
