I've been dying for a chicken parm sub, but I can't bring myself to order a hoagie that is essentially a deep fried piece of chicken wrapped in bread. I just can't. I'm not a big fan of deep friend anything right now, and a chicken breast is beyond what I feel comfortable eating.
So, I decided to try it heathy. I thought about the recipe in my mind for at least 2 weeks before testing it out and I do declare it is a winner all the way. I'm more than proud—I am beaming.
I started with about 2 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 1 inch pieces. I tossed them with Olive Oil, 2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning, some garlic powder and maybe some extra thyme. I grilled them for about 5 minutes on each side, tossed them in a glass dish and covered them with thin slices of low fat Mozzarella. This went in the oven for about 15 minutes. It came out looking like this:
We used flat bread (instead of a hoagie roll) and covered with a little bit of sauce.
And then we ate it. So good. I was absolutely beaming about this one and I was so fat and happy after eating it. Sometimes I impress the hell out of myself.
