Ingredients
Scale
Chicken:
- 1 pound (454 grams) grilled chicken, sliced or shredded
Cheese:
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
Sauce and Seasoning:
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) Alfredo sauce
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons (8 grams) fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Bread:
- 4 sub rolls
Instructions
- Grill chicken breasts at medium-high heat until fully cooked and tender, approximately 6-8 minutes per side. Slice or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Drench the chicken pieces with warm Alfredo sauce, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
- Preheat the oven to 375F (190C), positioning the rack in the middle position.
- Carefully slice sub rolls lengthwise, creating a deep pocket while keeping one side connected.
- Mix melted butter with finely minced garlic and freshly chopped parsley in a small mixing bowl.
- Generously brush the interior of each sub roll with the aromatic garlic butter mixture, covering all surfaces evenly.
- Layer the Alfredo-coated chicken into each sub roll, distributing the filling uniformly.
- Sprinkle a combination of Parmesan and mozzarella cheese over the chicken, allowing the cheese to cascade into the filling.
- Arrange the prepared subs on a lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown and crispy, and the cheese melts completely.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the filling to set.
- Garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Customize chicken by using rotisserie for time-saving or grilling for smoky flavor enhancement.
- Swap sub rolls with gluten-free alternatives to accommodate dietary restrictions without losing taste quality.
- Add red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning inside the filling for extra zesty kick and depth of flavor.
- Transform leftovers by refrigerating and reheating in oven at 350F to maintain bread’s crispiness and prevent sogginess.
