   Nice sandwich. Thank you. Don't forget "tooth fairy".
2. Kelly says:

   For your tooth fairy fail, what I always did was put the money under my pillow or something else (like the phone) on top of my pillow so that when I was going to bed, something was out of the ordinary and it would remind me. Good luck and thanks for the recipe! :-)
3. Phyllis says:

   Great sandwich but more important than that, just a beautiful little girl!
4. Carolyn says:

   The recipe sounds yummy. Will definitely be putting it my recipe file on my computer. We have definitely forgotten the tooth fairy! Once my son lost his tooth in bed so we told him that the tooth fairy had already left for her rounds so she wasn't prepared for him. I've heard of other parents saying that maybe it "dropped" behind the bed. As for the going rate - no clue - the tooth fairy never visited my house. We give my son between 25 cents to a dollar depending on what change, etc we have on hand. GOOD LUCK!
5. Sharlyn says:

   Tooth fairy is ALWAYS late at our house ;-)
6. Tami says:

   We like to leave a book for our girls for their teeth. This is something that will work for them easily as they grow, too. You have a beautiful little girl!!! Also, your recipes are always so delicious. Thank you!
7. Kelly says:

   making these right now.....but, I'm guessing you forgot to add something about cutting up the chicken breasts PRIOR to placing them in the slow cooker? Maybe?? (I assumed they would fall apart after cooking for 4 hours). All I know is I am SO ready to eat these sandwiches..............my house smells AMAZING!
8. Krista says:

   I made these sandwiches today...delicious and so easy : ) Thanks!!

   Your little girl is a doll! The tooth fairy has forgotten to visit our house a time or two--it happens. :) We were once told, "the tooth fairy is a cheapskate!", we stepped it up after that.

    I had a nephew sleep over recently and found out that the tooth fairy leaves him $3. Not sure she will be doing that at our house when we get there. I like the idea of something special though like maybe a susan b. anthony dollar or a $2 bill, though that will require a trip to the bank and a bit of forethought :)
11. Lisa says:

    By the time my third son starting losing teeth, the tooth fairy had apparently gotten very busy. Sometimes there were so many children losing teeth the same day he did, she didn't make it to his tooth for 2 or 3 days! And she leaves what we call at our house "golden dollars". Those are the $1 coins that are gold. So much more fun than an ordinary paper dollar bill and still worth a dollar to spend. (I don't know where the tooth fairy that visits some kids gets the $20 I hear my son talking about! Way too much, in my opinion.)
12. Careen Porter says:

    I forgot tooth fairy business several nights in a row around Easter time.... I dribbled food coloring on note and printed how I (the tooth fairy) had been so busy helping the Easter bunny dye eggs that I had not had time...My Cara carried that little note in her pocket for weeks!
13. Becca says:

    First of all - - I will definitely be trying this recipe, sounds delicious. Second of all - - - the tooth fairy has forgotten to make a stop at our house too and I have told my kids that the tooth fairy has so many rounds to make, that she just didn't make it but I bet she will tonight and she'll leave an extra dollar or something special. : ) My youngest recently lost his tooth at daycare and he had gotten into some trouble that day and we had forgotten the tooth in his cubby but didn't realize till almost bedtime - - good thing is that I was able to text one of the girls who does side babysitting for me there and she put $2 in place of his tooth and then gave me his tooth on the side later. : ) I obviously have high expectations to fill after that one..............LOL
14. Cyd says:

    We just shredded the chicken after it cooked through.
15. Karen says:

    I forgot to be the "tooth fairy" one night too, and I did the same thing you did, just wrote a sweet apology letter! I think the way you handled it was great, and you probably won't forget next time now!! :) Good looking sandwich by the way too...on my meal plan soon!
16. Jacqueline says:

    I have loved browsing through your recipes! I definitely think these Chicken Phillys are going in the crockpot tomorrow! (It's already full today!) I'm new to the blogging world & post about homeschooling and cooking! Stop by sometime! Hope you have a great day! http://jaxmoose.wordpress.com/ or on FB https://www.facebook.com/TheSandBoxBlog

    We had some tooth fairy goofs when our children were growing up. I started putting the money in my bra when the tooth came out. When getting ready for bed I was reminded to take care of that little rascal. She never forgot again.
18. Jennifer says:

    I love all the recipes here and will definitely be trying this one very soon! Regarding the tooth fairy: I worked at a bank and it was always fairly easy to have a stash on hand at home of $2 bills or gold $1 coins - either one or the other, so my kids never got more than $2 per tooth! The gold dollars were actually more popular, they're a little more out of the mainstream.
19. Spark*Amy says:

    Sounds yummy! Can't wait to try. In our house we know the Tooth Fairy is very busy so she may not come that very night (especially if she's out of cash!) but she will come! I think the note was a great touch! I too had to set an alarm on my phone to remember!
20. Celia says:

    The chicken sounds delish!! As for the tooth fairy, ours soon discovered the truth and wanted us to forget so they got "interest" with a note of apology. Our youngest always wrote notes asking if the fairy could leave her tooth because she wanted to save it. They got whatever change we had or a dollar bill. A few teeth rated more depending if it had been difficult to lose.
21. Amber says:

    Just made this for dinner last night and it was DELISH! My husband said it was his 2nd favorite of all my meals. Super easy and very flavorful!
22. Olga says:

    We used to throw money in the foot of the bed and have them go and check the whole bed. We then we let them know the fairy was busy and missed her usual spot. Worked like a charm.
23. Cassandra says:

    this one of my FAVORITE recipes. It was delicious. My bf said this meal was, "a success!"
24. Jeanne says:

    I threw this into the crock pot in the morning on the first day of school. Being a teacher, I knew I would be staying a bit later at school that day so I wouldn't have time to cook dinner when I got home. I was anxious to sit down to dinner to hear about my twins' first day and unwind after an eventful one for me. I have tried your slow cooker recipes before and you girls are really spot-on!! This one was another hit! There was enough left over to freeze and use on another busy night. Thanks so much!
25. mjhopkins says:

    this was very good. A lot of liquid so you need to use a slotted spoon. I thought I'd try something interesting and use the chicken in a stuffed pepper to cut out 500 calories. Still topped it with the cheese and it was very good. Probably better on bread. We are reserving the leftovers for tomorrows dinner.
26. Shirley says:

    This sounds delicious and so easy to make! :) Thanks for sharing////
27. Danielle says:

    Hmmmm although there is some serious false advertisement happening with the name of.this... It still looks amazing. Being born and raised and still residing in Philly i can assure you this isn't anything like a Philly chicken cheese steak beside the fact that it is chicken.lol
28. jenn says:

    When u say slice the green pepper & onion can u just slice lg for flavor&remove before serving? What kind of onion? Also in the pic it looks like peppercins like u use with bee,not green peppers...?
29. Cyd says:

    You could easily pull out the green pepper and onion before serving. It will add some yummy flavor during cooking.
30. Melissa Stallings says:

    I forgot one time and she was so upset, so I had her eat her breakfast and went and put the money in the pillow case and told her after breakfast lets go look again maybe you missed it or it was placed in a new spot. I told her sometimes their are new tooth fairies and they all put them in different spots. She Often the pillow me still didn't see it, so I told her to look inside the pillow case just in case they moved the spot. There it was, like it was there all along, lol. That never happened again. Now that they are old enough, 9 and 12 they know there's not a tooth fairy, so they get the money right away. We gave $10 for their very first tooth and for every other tooth it was $5.00. Thank you for all your recipes. They are scrumptious. I love your blog.
31. D says:

    The tooth fairy has fallen behind the 8-ball around here more than once, too... we have 2 girls losing teeth like crazy. Who knew there was a second round around 9??? One of us runs distraction, while the other plants the cash. Then we suggest that we help look, because perhaps they have missed what was left. Surprise! It must of simply been overlooked somehow! We leave $5 since that is what their cousins were getting. We let them spend some and they have to save some in their bank accounts. The recipe will be tried tonight around here... looks perfect. I love slow-cooker recipes and you always have umpteen! I recommend your website to everyone!
32. Wes says:

    Can this only be made in a slow cooker?
33. Debbie Luzier says:

    When the tooth fairy forgot at our house, she would leave a note the next day saying that there was a lot of children in the world that day that had lost a tooth and that she was behind schedule, and was really really sorry. There was always "fairy dust" on the letters and pillow and around the gold coin that was left. Our tooth fairy always left a shiny gold dollar coin. One time my son put a dogs tooth in the tooth fairy pillow and he got a piece of coal and a note that said, "Good try"! "Santa isn't the only one who leaves coal." As they got older and no longer believed in the tooth fairy, they still got their gold coin.
34. Jill Shepard says:

    the tooth fairy left a note saying our cat tried to catch her so she had to wait till the next day and if we would kindly lock the cat up that night ;) and $1 is enough!
35. Lisa says:

    Could this all be pre-prepped and frozen to use as a freezer meal? I'm wondering how the onions and peppers would freeze... This recipe sounds delicious!
36. Cyd says:

    It should work fine if you prepare it and then freeze it in an airtight container or freezer bag. Then thaw and heat when ready!
37. Dana says:

    love that story ! ;) This looks amazing. Question: do you get a good amount of leftovers from this recipe? thanks!
38. Willie Stylez says:

    My daughter tried to convince me that her friends were getting $5, $10 and upwards of $20 per tooth in her class! She was in 2nd or 3rd grade! Smh! I just told her or Youth Fairy must've ran outta money by the time she got to our house then, because she was only getting 25 cents to $1, at the most! LOL!
39. Willie Stylez says:

    As written, it appears to get exactly 6 sandwiches. I made it with 2lbs. of chicken, and I had enough for 8 or 9.
40. Naomi says:

    Did this recipe get modified? I swear it used to call for Dale's steak seasoning!
41. Paula says:

    So disappointed in this sandwich. I thought it was flavorless- and waited for my husband to try it, without saying anything. Well he said there is no flavor at all. I followed it exactly, using packet of good season Italian. The flavor of the green peeper seemed to cook out of it as it cooked in crock pot. I think I would put onions and green pepper in half way through. But I won't make it again. I see someone mentioned steak seasoning- that might help
42. Kimberly says:

    We would sometimes leave a note apologizing for not being there before they woke but that it had been an extra busy night
43. Lisa Samples says:

    I have made this recipe many times. It is always terrific! I add extra onions and peppers because we like them. My family enjoys so much! I use leftovers for lunches the next day. I love the easy prep for this recipe. It is always delicious!
44. Momma Cyd says:

    Hi Lisa. We are so glad you love this easy Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich. And this makes the best leftovers!
45. Kelly says:

    Did you mean 1 1/2lbs chicken? Not 1 1/2 breasts? If I'm working with frozen chicken I can't exactly cut a breast in half:)
46. Momma Cyd says:

    Thanks for catching that. It is 1 1/2 pounds of chicken.
47. Kat says:

    Yaaaaaaaaaaas! Tasty chicken sandwich but one million percent not a chicken cheesesteak ... at all!
48. Liz says:

    This recipe was bland. If I were doing it over I'd maybe double the Italian seasoning. It definitely needs something more.
