Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Sub sandwich rolls
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 16 slices Pepperoni slices
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips.
Slice the sub sandwich rolls in half lengthwise and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on the bottom half of each roll.
Evenly divide the chicken strips among the rolls, placing them on top of the sauce.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken, about 1/4 cup per sandwich.
Top each sandwich with 4 slices of pepperoni.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and optionally garnish with a fresh basil leaf on each one.
Close the sandwich with the top half of the roll and serve immediately.
