Chicken Parmigiana Subs




Well, we must add this one to the totally awesome go-to weekly meals. 
It is simple, easy to make, and BEYOND delicious.

Truth be told, I thought about eating this sub the entire day. 
Seriously.




 It was a craving that I just had to satisfy and it was worth oh so worth it.

Also, I know I have said this before but truly slow cookers/crock-pots are a gift from above.  Easy assembly, easy cook, easy clean up. What more could you ask for?


So I give you this delicious sub. 



Ingredients: 
3 chicken breast, frozen or thawed
11.5 oz of your favorite Marinara sauce (so, half of a 23oz jar)
1 tbs garlic powder
1/2 of an onion, chopped
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1 tsp salt
1/8 cup water

4-6 sub rolls (thick, to hold the juices)
Parmesan cheese, powered
mozzarella cheese, slice
Optional: 2 tbs butter, melted

Directions:
Pour your sauce into the slow cooker. Add the spices and water stir  together. Then lay your chicken on top. 
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours.
Shred chicken with a fork and stir all together.
You can either start plating now or let it sit a bit longer on warm to help reduce some of the juices.


Optional: Toast your roll.
Slice open your roll and add melted butter. Place on a baking sheet and broil for 2 min or until edges are a nice golden brown. 

Add chicken marinara to half of the toasted sub.
Then sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese and then lay a slice of mozzarella on top of that.






Broil again for 2 min or until cheese is melted over sub. 






Top with the other half of the toasted roll and ENJOY!
