Cheesy Chicken Pizzaiola Sandwiches
Recipe by Linda cllw (TOH)
This was delicious! Thanks Linda for a great meal!
It calls for cooked chicken and I used boneless, skinless chicken tenders and boiled them in 2 cans of chicken broth and then shredded it. I also used 1/2 of chicken broth instead of the wine. My addition to the recipe was 1/2 packet of Italian seasoning mix! I left cheese off of one of them for the picture! I toasted the cheese topped sandwiches in my toaster oven.
1¼ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked & shredded
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1½ cups tomato sauce
½ cup dry red wine or chicken broth
½ teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoons dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 hoagie rolls, split & toasted
provolone cheese or shredded mozzarella & shredded parm, romano and asiago blend
16 spinach leaves, fresh
In a large saucepan, sauté the onion and garlic in oil until soft but not browned. Add tomato sauce, wine, oregano and basil. Season with salt and red pepper flakes, adding more to taste, if you wish.
Lower heat and simmer mixture for 30 minutes.
Add garlic powder and shredded, cooked chicken to the tomato sauce; simmer together for 15 to 60 minutes, as desired (cover mixture if it begins to become too thick).
Assemble sandwiches: spoon the chicken mixture on 4 toasted hoagie roll bottoms and place 2 provolone cheese slices on the top portion of each sandwich.
Place open-faced sandwiches on a cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven until cheese melts (or broil if you like browned cheese).
Place 4 spinach leaves on each sandwich, put together, and serve hot.
