Crock Pot Chicken Cheesesteak Sandwiches are filled with savory chicken, spices, onion, and bell pepper. Add some creamy Queso for one incredible sandwich!
I have around 20 recipes just waiting to be posted, but sometimes there are recipes that turn out so amazingly delicious they have to be bumped up to the front of the line. These Chicken Cheesesteak Sandwiches are one of those recipes!
My dear ol’ crock pot is something I can’t live without. I love it even more when recipes like this come out of it. These sandwiches are really top notch! The chicken is slow cooked in chicken broth and spices, a long with the onions and bell peppers. Then you load that chicken mixture inside fresh hoagie buns and top it with warm white Queso Velveeta (or just a few pieces of provolone if you’re not a fan of Velveeta). So delicious!
If you love a good cheesesteak sandwich then please do yourself a favor and make these as soon as possible! 😉

Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 medium yellow onion sliced into thin strips
- 1 green bell pepper sliced into thin strips
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 Tablespoons steak sauce I used Heinz 57
- 6 hoagie buns
- 12 slices white American cheese (or Queso)
Instructions
- Grease insert of crock pot with non-stick spray. Lay the onion and bell pepper slices in the bottom of crock pot. Pour chicken broth over the veggies. Lay chicken breasts over the top of vegetables. Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder and steak sauce.
- Cover with lid and cook on low heat for 6 hours OR on high heat for 3 hours (or until chicken is tender and cooked through. 165 degrees F.)
- Carefully remove chicken from crock pot and shred with two forks. Return to crock pot and stir to combine the shredded chicken and veggies. (There will be liquid in the crock pot but I leave it in to keep the chicken moist.)
- Using a slotted spoon, scoop up chicken mixture and place inside hoagie buns. Top with two slices of cheese or Queso. (I used white Queso velveeta on ours and it was amazing. Provolone or white american would be delish, too.)
These look absolutely amazing, and so easy!
Hi Holly, Theses look delicious. My son and his girlfriend would love these. The only thing I would do to them is maybe add some bacon and ranch dressing (oooh my) 🙂 Thanks again for an easy and amazing recipe.
You are brilliant! I’m going to use the idea and make my boyfriend a very happy man! (And myself a very happy woman!) Can’t believe I haven’t seen this recipe idea anywhere! Thanks!
Late to the party, I know, but I wonder if you could put ranch seasoning mix in with your broth? Hmmmm.
I am Making these right now!! I hope my kids love them!!!
How many chicken breasts did you use?
Sheree, I used 5 small chicken breasts
I just put this in my crock pot! So easy to prep, love that dinner will be done later on. I love your recipes!! Thank you, a working mom with big eaters to feed!
Can the chicken breasts be frozen? Or do i need to thaw them
Tanisha, I always use thawed chicken breasts, never frozen. That’s just a personal preference 🙂
Holy smokes, these were delicious! I added fried mushrooms to mine at the end, topped with provolone cheese, and broiled them for a bit to get the cheese extra melty and the bread a bit crispy. Will definitely make again, thank you.
Is there a recommended sauce that goes on the sandwich? More of the heinz 57 or something else?
In Philly we don’t use sauce. Just cheese.You can put ketchup on it, but don’t tell anyone lol.
Just made these, they were great , will definitely make again. White American cheese is the ticket.
This turned out excellent. I did make some changes. Cooked the onions, peppers and added mushrooms in a skillet instead of with the chicken. We love sauteed veggies. I also used Queso cheese. (the kind they serve in Mexican restaurants). Just heated it and drizzled it over top of the veggies and chicken on a hoagie roll.
Thanks so much!
This is dinner tonight, made it quite a while back and it was absolutely delicious! I love so many of your easy, tasty recipes, a big thank you!
Thank you so much Kris! 🙂
I have tried many different recipes from Life in the Lofthouse and they are all delicious. We tried this one last night and it was definitely a hit! The only different is I combined all the ingredients in a skillet and covered it and slow cooked it for 45 min. it was great! My son put mayo on his sandwich bun before putting the rest on and topped it off with mozzarella cheese 2 min. in the air fryer. I didn’t put mayo on mine. It was delicious.
