I think I have used my crock pot more in the last year than I have in the rest of our married life combined. Not sure why it took me so long but I have pretty much fallen in love with it.
You may have noticed, since I have been sharing a new crock pot recipe almost every week. Those of you who filled out my survey asked for more quick and easy dinner recipes and I have decided that the crock pot is just about the easiest and quickest way to get dinner on the table!
Today’s recipe for Roasted Red Pepper Chicken done in the crock pot doesn’t get much easier – it has two ingredients. Chicken and roasted red peppers which I bought in the jar.
Put them in the crock pot for 4 hours on high or 6-8 on low and it is ready to shred and add to your sandwich.
I jazzed the sandwich up a bit with some pesto mayo for the bread and some homemade pesto focaccia bread. Since the rest of the dinner was so easy I decided to make my own bread. You could definitely buy your own focaccia bread at the store or just use any kind of roll or bun to serve it on.
The pesto mayo is a quick and easy addition that just takes the sandwich to another level. Trust me.
I like to spread it on thick and then add some lettuce and fresh tomato and then a nice big topping of the roasted red pepper shredded chicken.
Roasted Red Pepper Chicken and Pesto Sandwich makes for a quick, easy and most importantly delicious dinner. With our reduced size family there were plenty of leftovers and my husband was glad – he enjoyed it for lunch a couple of more times. He is a good leftover eater – especially when they are as good as this was!
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did – think you’re going to thank me for this one.

I was just wondering if anyone has tried adding a slice of cheese (maybe pepper jack?) and then putting the sandwich in a panini press? I got a nice Cuisinart panini machine for Christmas and have been searching for a good recipe to try it out.
I think it would be delicious with a slice of pepperjack and then in a panini press – yum!! Must try!
Sorry but I cannot find the link to the bread recipe. Am I just blind?
