Ingredients for Crock Pot Hot Chicken Sandwiches
8 Cups Cooked Chicken- cubed or shredded
16 oz Velveeta- Cubed
1 Cup Chicken Broth
10¾ oz Can Cream of Mushroom Soup
12 Buns
How to Make Hot Chicken Sandwiches in a Slow Cooker
- Mix all the ingredients (except for the buns) and pour into a 6 quart slow cooker. (We like using our non-stick slow cookeror crock pot liners for this recipe.)
- Cook on low for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally until the cheese is melted.
- Serve on buns
Crock Pot Hot Chicken Sandwiches Notes
- We make this recipe with turkey leftovers and even turkey lunch meatsometimes.
- We used our 6 quart non-stick slow cooker to cook this up because we used Velveeta and it made for an easier clean up but you can use any 6 quart slow cooker (you might consider using a slow cooker liner).
- If you cut the recipe in half, just make sure you either use a smaller slow cooker or watch carefully and stir often because it will likely get done a lot faster.
- I found the original turkey recipe for these sandwiches in Gooseberry Patch’sSlow-Cooker Christmas Favoritesand adapted it.
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and shouldalways be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

I’ve made one almost identical for years. Used cream of chicken soup and a slice of American cheese on the sandwich. They are delicious!Reply

Is this something that could be divided into smaller portions and frozen after it is cooked?

Hi Paige!You are so very welcome. Enjoy!

Does the chicken have to be cooked? Is it possible to use raw chicken?

Cris says
Hi Karie-
I haven’t tried it, but I would imagine you could… The chicken will likely take a bit longer to cook. Once it is cooked, remove it and shred it up and then return to the slow cooker. I would use 2-3lbs of boneless, skinless breasts or thighs.Enjoy!

Using uncooked chicken dilutes the sauce.
