Sidenote: As I type this, my husband is downstairs watching "The Bachelor." I can only take so much of the whole "This place is amaaaaazing!/I really feel like I'm falling for you/Will you accept this rose?" business.
Yeah, I'd much rather share this recipe for tasty sandwiches.
Slow Cooker Jalapeno Chicken Sandwiches
2 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breasts, fat trimmed
2 10-oz cans diced tomatoes with chilis
2 diced jalapenos
12 oz reduced fat cream cheese
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
8 white whole wheat buns
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Coat your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Add chicken; pour canned tomatoes (with juice) over the chicken. Add jalapenos, garlic, onion powder, and pepper. Cook on low for 7-8 hours. Shred chicken with a fork.
Add cream cheese and let it melt. Stir until evenly distributed.
Heat up a grill pan over medium high heat. Toast each bun half for 30-60 seconds, until slightly charred. Add cheesy chicken filling. Add cheddar cheese and additional jalapenos, if desired.

Spicy enough that Juan Pablo would approve.
