Chicken Parmesan Sub Sandwiches

These sandwiches made for a fun and easy weeknight dinner for us. I love making sandwiches for dinner. My mom never did that and I'm not sure why. When I was a kid, our dinners were casseroles or Mexican food or sometimes my dad would grill steaks or burgers. I think food has really evolved over the years and I'm a firm believer in having fun with your food and switching things up from the same old standards. So here's a fun twist on Chicken Parmesan.....you should try it!

Chicken Parmesan Sub Sandwiches



2 cups pasta sauce
2 large chicken breasts ~ split
1 small onion ~ sliced
2 cloves garlic ~ minced
Salt & pepper to taste
1 - 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese

In a large skillet, saute the onion and garlic in a little olive oil for 5 minutes.

Season the chicken and add it to the pan. Cook until done. 

Turn the oven to broil.

Slice open the rolls and butter. Place rolls on a baking sheet and toast.'

Remove the pan from the oven and spread some pasta sauce over both sides on each roll.
