One of our favorite easy meals to eat during the fall is cheesesteaks.  I especially enjoy chicken cheesesteaks!  They're leaner than beef cheesesteaks and more versatile when it comes to seasonings.  And one of the easiest ways to make chicken cheesesteaks is in the slow cooker.

With the lazy days of summer soon coming to an end and busier days returning, these chicken cheesesteaks are an easy meal with little prep involved.  Simply throw all of the ingredients in a slow cooker and cook!  Then, serve the cheesesteaks with or without the sandwich roll.

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts make up these cheesesteaks.  They're cooked with garlic, bell peppers, and onions in a broth based Buffalo flavored sauce.

If you're not a fan of spicy food, there's such a small amount of Buffalo sauce in this dish that it will probably go unnoticed.  It's mainly there for flavoring so either use a smaller amount or omit it from the recipe.

Cooking the chicken in the slow cooker allows it to shred easily, making it perfect for cheesesteaks.  Before serving, the chicken, peppers, and onions are topped with shredded cheese.  Then, you can serve it right in the slow cooker and spoon it onto your favorite rolls!

First, we need to place the chicken into the slow cooker.  Season it with salt and pepper and then sprinkle chopped garlic on top.

Next, mix up a quick sauce with Buffalo sauce, chicken (or vegetable) broth, and oregano.  Pour it over the chicken.

Add the sliced onions and peppers on top of the chicken.  Then, cover and cook on high for 3 hours.

After three hours, use a fork or tongs to shred the chicken.  Cover the slow cooker once again and cook on low for one more hour.

Before serving, sprinkle shredded cheese on top.  I like a mix of shredded cheddar and Swiss.  Mozzarella works well, too.

Cover the slow cooker and allow the cheese to melt completely.

Then, spoon the chicken onto rolls and serve with your favorite cheesesteak condiments.

While spooning the chicken onto rolls, make sure to let any excess sauce drip off to avoid a soggy sandwich.  While we find that these cheesesteaks are pretty filling on their own, you could also serve them with fries, chips, or a salad on the side.
