Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 slices bacon fried crisp
6 slices Swiss cheese
6 sandwich rolls buttered and toasted, if desired

Instructions

Add the chicken breasts to the slow cooker.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, vinegar, and pepper.
Pour mixture over chicken and spread to cover the chicken.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. The chicken is done when it easily shreds apart with a fork.
Shred chicken with forks when cooked through. Stir the mixture well to coat the chicken in the sauce.
Spoon chicken into sandwich rolls, top with cheese and bacon. Serve hot.

Notes

Chicken: We prefer chicken breasts, but chicken thighs will also work fine.

Honey Mustard: Make this even easier by using 3/4 cup of store bought honey mustard. We really love our homemade honey mustard though! Drizzle a little extra on top of the finished sandwich if you like.

Sandwiches: We like to put the cheese over the hot chicken to give it a chance to melt a bit. Letting the cheese come to room temp helps it melt quicker or you can pop the open faced sandwiches in a warm oven for a minute or two to help the process along. Highly recommend buttering and toasting the buns for the texture you get.

Bacon: We put one slice of bacon per sandwich (broken in half) but feel free to add as much bacon as your heart desires!
