Yummy. Makes 5-6 sandwiches on gluten free hamburger buns.

I’ve just recently found your blog and love it! I made this recipe x4 for a family gathering of 25 people this past weekend and it was a hit! My 6-yr old nephew deemed it “most awesome sandwich ever!” There was some leftover and I served it for supper last night as wraps: rolled it in some burrito-sized tortillas topped with some crunchy broccoli slaw. THAT was really good! Thanks for the inspiration to serve something different and delicious to my family!
Jessica Fisher
Those wraps do sound delicious. Great tweak!

If you are going to use napa cabbage instead of rolls do you have to cook the cabbage first?
Hey Jessica, this recipe looks great! I have a hard time keeping chicken breats moist in the crockpot. Even with juices, it always tastes dried out. How do you keep that from happening? Since crockpots heat at different temperatures, how do you know when the chicken is done and not overcook it? Should I pull at it with 2 forks at various times and turn it off when it gives easily? I’ve found even when the thermometer says its done, it is not tender enough to shred at that point. Any tips anyone can offer for cooking moist chicken breasts in the crockpot would be much appreciated! Thank you!
Jessica Fisher
I think my first question would be what kind of chicken do you buy? I’ve found that the big grocery store breasts get tough more easily than the ones that I buy at Trader Joe’s. It might not be you; it might be your chicken.
Jessica
Good to know! I have been buying Costco organic frozen chicken breasts lately and they are bigger. Which ones do you buy from Trader Joes? Are they frozen?
Jessica Fisher
If you’re getting organic, it probably doesn’t get better than that. It must be that your crockpot cooks fast. I would adjust your time and see how quickly it’s cooking.

Trying out this recipe as we speak. I did go and buy rice vinegar but I did not have Sherry so I used white wine.
I am having 2 couples over so I will let you know! THanks. LS

Bon appetit!

This was a hit with my family!!

Just wondering if I could substitute regular vinegar for the rice vinegar? Even if I substitute something else for the sherry? (I’m thinking chicken broth)
Jessica Fisher
Both of those ingredients really give it the Asian flair. It will still be tasty if you make those subs, but not the same.

How can we cook for 6 hrs on high flame and 6 hrs on low flame?
Jessica Fisher
The cooking instructions for this recipe are for use in a Crock-pot or slow cooker. They have low and high settings. 6 on low or 4 on high.
Brenna
Thanks for asking, Nafisa ~ the instructions read 4 hours on High and 6 hours on Low. 10 hours of cooking with 4 on high seemed a bit intense to me too!
Becky
What can I substitute for the sherry?
Jessica Fisher
Sherry is in a lot of Asian style recipes; I’ve found that it gives it a more authentic flavor. You can find affordable “cooking sherry” on the vinegar aisle. You can use chicken broth if you’d rather.
Carol
Thanks for asking about the sherry, Becky. I was going to ask the same question!
Vicky
This looks fantastic! I will be trying this soon. Unfortunately, if it is for the pantry challenge, I have everything except chicken. 😉
Jessica Fisher
You could very easily make it with pork, too.
Rachel
I made these today for dinner. They were a hit! Thank you for yet another great recipe.
Jessica Fisher
Yay!

Do you eat raw sugar snap peas? Or do you blanch them? I’m looking for ways to add them to my diet.
Jessica Fisher
We do usually eat them raw. I have put them in stirfries before as well.
Kristi
I made this recipe last night, and my family LOVED it! It was perfect on the Sweet Hawaiian Rolls. My family also commented how wonderful it smelled while it was cooking. Thank you for another great recipe!
Jessica Fisher
Yay! So glad to hear that it was a hit!

Jessica Fisher
No, the cabbage acts like a crispy wrap for the filling. You’ll just spoon the filling into a leave, add any toppings you want, and then eat. Like here: http://goodcheapeats.com/2013/04/chicken-salad-wraps/
