Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Sub rolls or hoagie buns
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.25 cup Banana peppers (optional)
• 0.25 cup Italian dressing

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the chicken by patting the breasts dry with a paper towel. Cut each breast lengthwise into thinner cutlets if needed.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, mix the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Coat the chicken cutlets with the olive oil mixture and set aside for 5 minutes while preheating a skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Cook the chicken in the skillet for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing the chicken into strips.

Step 5

While the chicken cools, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and slice the sub rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through.

Step 6

Place the sliced chicken strips into each sub roll and top with mozzarella cheese. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake the subs in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are lightly toasted.

Step 8

Remove the subs from the oven and layer the lettuce, sliced tomato, red onion, and banana peppers (if using) on top of the chicken and melted cheese.

Step 9

Drizzle each sub with a tablespoon of Italian dressing, or more to taste.

Step 10

Serve the Italian Chicken Subs warm and enjoy!
