Slow Cooker Peruvian Chicken Sandwiches

Slow Cooker Peruvian Chicken Sandwiches

Tasty Peruvian themed slow cooker chicken sandwiches with green sauce, pickled red onions and avocado!

Peruvian style grilled chicken is a favourite and sometimes I like to change it up a bit and use the slow cooker to cook the chicken! The recipe basically involves throwing chicken into a slow cooker (crockpot) along with the Peruvian chicken marinade and turning it on! When the chicken is cooked, it’s shredded/pulled and then thrown into a sandwich along with lettuce, avocado, cheese, pickled red onions (link) and the oh so tasty homemade aji Verde (link)!
