This is really one good sandwich! I used chicken thighs and 1 leftover large boneless skinless breast. I did add more garlic and a splash of white wine to the crockpot before cooking. The smell was heavenly! And it couldn't have been easier to prepare. The spread was so flavorful and I served it on an Asiago Cheese foccacia from Panera. My kind of sammich! Thank you Marie for introducing me to this tasty little guy! I'll make it again and again!
