Chicken Verde Sandwiches are a fun, Tex-Mex twist on a classic sandwich. Using frozen chicken breasts instead of fresh makes this dish easy and accessible, while the slow cooker ensures a juicy and tender texture. The addition of pizza sauce, sour cream, and spices gives the chicken verde mixture a tangy and flavorful kick, while the melted Cheddar cheese adds a gooey and indulgent touch. Served on toasted kaiser rolls with a spicy sour cream sauce, these sandwiches are perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch or dinner.

5.	Transfer the chicken mixture to a baking dish.
6.	Top with shredded Cheddar cheese and bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

8.	In a small bowl, mix together 6 ounces of sour cream and hot sauce.
9.	Spread the sour cream mixture on the toasted rolls.
