Italian Chicken Sandwich
Italian Chicken Sandwich
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken
- 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp garlic power
- 1/2 tbsp onion powder
- 1 1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 6 hoagie buns
- 8 oz marinara
- 6 provolone cheese
Optional Toppings
- banana peppers or pepperoncini
- roasted red pepper
- black olives
- aritchokes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350
- 3 chicken breasts: sliced then to make 6 thin breasts
- mix all seasonings well together in a bowl
- coat chicken with olive oil and seasonings
- Grill your chicken or pan fry in skillet until done reaching internal temp of 165
- Slice Chicken into chunks or strips
- Line sheet pan with parchment paper and add hoagies to sheet pan.
- Slice the top of the hoagies so you can add meat and sauce. You can cut them half way too but I prefer to keep the hoagie in tact and stuff it full. I think it is easier to eat this way.
- Once hoagies are sliced on top, you will want to stuff full with chicken and top with marinara, cheese and then any toppings you desire.
- Bake loaded hoagies in oven at 350 for about 10 minutes just until cheese melts.
Optional Toppings
- Add your desired toppings prior to baking

Notes
This Italian Chicken Sandwich recipe is for 6 hoagie sandwich subs, however you can customize to the amount you need. This grilled chicken is great leftover for up to 3 days in your refrigerator in an airtight sealed container.
If using left over grilled chicken you will want to make sure to heat up chicken in a skillet along with marinara sauce to make sure it is warm enough prior to putting in hoagie and toasting it with cheese and toppings. The toasting in oven is just to melt cheese and add a toasty crunch to the hoagie not to cook the chicken.
Looking to keep it low carb, ditch the hoagie and try the chicken with melted provolone and marinara in a bowl. Anyway you enjoy this dish, it is delicious
A great side dish to this recipe is homemade fries, raw veggies with dipping sauce or potato chips. Or even my Crazy Busy Mama Kale Pasta Salad would make a great addition.
