Ingredients
  • 1 large whole-grain roll
  • 1 thin to medium boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 3 heaping tablespoon marinara sauce, store-bought or homemade
  • 1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
Directions
  1. Preheat the broiler.
  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  3. Scoop the insides out of the roll, place the roll on the baking sheet, and lightly toast under the broiler for 1 to 2minutes. Place the roll on a plate and set aside.
  4. In a pan coated with nonstick oil spray, sauté the chicken until it is no longer pink inside, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  5. Transfer the chicken to the baking sheet, top with the marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Place under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  6. Using a spatula, remove the chicken Parm from the oven and place on a toasted roll
