[…] 35. Slow Cooker Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwiches Sandwiches always make a fun and easy meal, and this one is no different, except that it’s a hot sandwich and you don’t have to worry about what goes inside the sandwich, since that slowly gets cooked throughout the day. This makes a great summertime dinner where you can start this at lunch time and take it with you to the lake or to the beach for a nice warm dinner without having to spark up the grill. It stays healthy by using chicken breast and romaine lettuce so it’s a win-win situation. […]

Question. How much water am I adding to the crockpot?
Made this for dinner tonight (added some red onions)…YUM!! So easy to prepare. It was a perfect light weekday meal. This will easily become a regular in our house.
BTW, I’ve made a handful of dinners following your recipes since I’ve discovered your blog on Pinterest and we’ve loved every one so far!!! Thanks for sharing.
This sounds absolutely fantastic. I can’t wait to try it.
One of my favorites. I’m making something similar tonight with rosemary roasted chicken 🙂
This looks divine! I wish I knew how to post this to Pinterest! It will definitely become a staple in my house. Amazing!
