Equipment

  • 1 Stove/Oven

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp each of garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning
  • 6 TBSP butter
  • Marinara Sauce
  • 4 Buns
  • Shredded or sliced mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh parsley
  • 1 TBSP minced garlic

Instructions

  • Butterfly cut chicken breasts to make them thinner.
  • Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika on both sides.
  • Heat a skillet with 2 TBSP of butter over medium high heat and quickly sear chicken (about 2-3 min on each side) in the skillet. This won’t fully cook the chicken.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and add a good spoonful of marinara on top of each piece of chicken.
  • Top with sliced or shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until it reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees.
  • While the chicken finishes cooking in the oven, combine 4 TBSP butter, 1 TBSP minced garlic, and some fresh chopped parsley in a bowl. Stir together well.
  • Spread the butter mixture on the buns and toast them in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
  • Build sandwiches and top with more parsley.
  • Enjoy! This recipe made four sandwiches, but you could easily use more chicken to make as many sandwiches as you need.
