Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound (454 grams) grilled chicken, sliced or shredded
Bread and Base:
- 4 sub rolls
Cheese and Dairy:
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce (or creamy garlic Parmesan sauce)
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (56 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons (57 grams) butter, melted
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare chicken by cooking or grilling until fully cooked, then slice or shred into bite-sized pieces. Coat chicken thoroughly with warm Alfredo sauce, ensuring even coverage.
- Heat oven to 375F (190C) and position rack in the middle for consistent baking.
- Slice sub rolls lengthwise, creating a deep pocket while keeping one side connected. Mix melted butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley to create a fragrant spread.
- Generously brush the interior of each sub roll with the garlic-herb butter mixture, covering all surfaces evenly.
- Layer the Alfredo-coated chicken inside each prepared roll, distributing the filling carefully to prevent overflow.
- Sprinkle a blend of Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses over the chicken, allowing the cheese to cascade into the filling.
- Arrange stuffed subs on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other. Bake for 10-12 minutes until bread turns golden brown and cheese melts completely.
- Remove from oven, let rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with additional fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
- Slice chicken evenly to ensure consistent cooking and easy stuffing for a professional look.
- Drain excess Alfredo sauce before stuffing to prevent soggy bread and maintain crispy texture.
- Use day-old sub rolls for better absorption of garlic butter and enhanced flavor profile.
- Consider low-carb alternatives like using lettuce wraps or zucchini boats for gluten-sensitive diners.
