1 Tlb chili powder
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, peeled
3/4 tsp dried oregano

2. Rub mixture all over the pork. Make sure to get in every crevice.

3. Place seeded and sliced jalapeno in the bottom of your crock pot. Put pork on top and pour remaining rub mixture over top.

4. Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 6-8. Pork is done with easily shredded with a fork.

5. Once the pork is cooked, place it on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes to rest.

While the pork is resting, prep your sandwiches. You will need:

One 6-inch hoagie roll per person (sliced in half hot dog style but do not cut all the way through...in other words, leave the bread hinged)
1 tsp butter per sandwich
2 slices of cheddar or colby jack cheese per sandwich
Sliced avocado (optional)
Sliced tomato (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread butter on each half of the hoagie roll and place into the preheated oven for 5-8 minutes or until toasted.

2. Slice each piece of cheese in half putting 2 half slices on each side of your sandwich.

3. Pile shredded pork on top. Top with avocado and tomatoes if you are feeling frisky.

4. Squish sandwich together and slice in half.

Chicken Ciabatta Sandwiches

This recipe is SUPER easy but does require your attention when broiler. This is not one to put in the oven and walk away...unless you want your ciabatta burned and let's be honest...no one likes a burned ciabatta!

What you need:


Season chicken in your zip-loc baggie and then saute until no longer pink. Slice into smaller pieces if desired.


Slice roll in half.

Top each half with marinara sauce.

Then with one slice of cheese.

Place under the broiler for maybe a minute. Just enough time for the cheese to slightly melt.

Add tomatoes and chicken, and top each half with one slice of cheese.


Place under broiler again until cheese is melted.

Combine halves and slice.


2 mini/individual ciabatta loaves (or however many you will need for each person to have their own)
4 -6 boneless, skinless chicken tenders
1 tsp olive oil
4 slices mozzarella cheese
4 slices provolone cheese
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1 roma tomato, sliced thinly
1 tsp Italian seasoning, plus a sprinkle
Salt
Pepper

1. Preheat the broil setting on your oven.

2. Combine chicken tenders, oil, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste in a zip-loc baggie. Shake to coat and pound chicken to help cook evenly. Saute in medium saucepan until chicken is no longer pink. Slice into thinner pieces if desired.

3. Slice ciabatta roll in half and brush with marinara. Top each half with 1 slice of mozzarella cheese. Place under broiler just until cheese is melted.  

4. Remove from oven and top one half with tomato slices and the other half with chicken. Add 1 slices of provolone cheese to each half. Brush again with marinara if desired and place until broiler until cheese is melty and delicious. Remove from oven and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

5. Combine halves and cut into triangles.
