Description

Pulled chicken in a tomato, salty olive, and beer base served up on crusty sourdough rolls with creamy provolone. I could eat one everyday!

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 6 ounces, weight Tomato Paste
  • 6 ounces, fluid Beer
  • 1 jar (about 6 Oz. Jar) Pimiento Stuffed Olives With Juice
  • 8 whole Sourdough Rolls
  • ¼ cups Olive Oil
  • 8 slices Provolone Cheese

Preparation

Place chicken in a slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Combine tomato paste and beer and pour over chicken. Pour olives with their juice in on top. Cook on low 7-9 hours. Remove chicken and olives from slow cooker and shred, adding tomato sauce from slow cooker to taste. Brush each sourdough roll with olive oil, pile high with pulled chicken and top with fresh provolone. Delight in each and every bite!

@elsaff: Yes, it is salty, mostly due to the olives. You might try using an equivalent amount of beer rather than the olive juice?! Glad you loved the flavor, though, it certainly isn’t lacking there!

I usually use something cheap and handy. Bud Light or your favorite light beer is fine. Or you could try your favorite inexpensive wine, red or white!

I made this last night and they were awesome! I am not even a big olive fan and I loved this. The only changes I made were – I used less chicken, probably only 5 frozen chicken breasts and I used one more can of tomato paste at the end to make the sauce a little thicker. I broiled the buns (used regular hamburger buns) with the provolone on top in the oven. This was super easy and I will definitely be making again!

I love these sandwiches! I made them last week and have found myself daydreaming about them ever since. I was afraid it would be too salty, based on the previous review, so I left out the juice from the olives and added another beer instead. So good. Thanks for a great recipe!

Although I absolutely loved the flavor, it was way to salty. I will probably make it again but use no salt, use a no salt added tomato paste and probably only half the liquid from the olives.
