TOH BB 2008


Recipe Introduction

Notes: Prepare the chicken mixture a day ahead and put the sandwiches together quickly the next day for a quick supper. The spinach adds a little crunch and extra nutrients

List of Ingredients

1 1/4lb boneless skinless chicken breast -- cooked & shredded
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 cup yellow onion -- finely chopped
2 garlic cloves -- minced
1 8 oz can cups tomato sauce
1 14 oz can diced Italian Style tomatoes; diced
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 hoagie rolls -- split & toasted
Shredded Italian or Pizza Blend Cheese






Recipe

In a large saucepan, sauté the onion and garlic in oil until soft but not browned.
Add tomato sauce & drained tomatoes, wine, oregano and basil.
Season with salt and red pepper flakes, adding more to taste, if you wish.
Lower heat and simmer mixture for 30 minutes.
Add garlic powder and shredded, cooked chicken to the tomato sauce; simmer together for 15 to 60 minutes, as desired (cover mixture if it begins to become too thick). Assemble sandwiches: spoon the chicken mixture on 4 toasted hoagie roll bottoms and place shredded cheese onto each side.
Place open-faced sandwiches on a cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven until cheese melts (or broil if you like browned cheese).
