    Chicken Parmesan Meatball Subs

    Recipe Introduction


    Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray

    List of Ingredients





    1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
    1 tablespoon grill seasoning blend (recommended:
    Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)
    1 large egg
    1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
    1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
    Handful of chopped parsley leaves
    Extra-virgin olive oil, for liberal drizzling plus,
    plus 3 tablespoons, 3 turns of the pan
    2 large cloves garlic, cracked from skin and split
    1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, a healthy couple of
    pinches
    1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, (recommended: San
    Marzano)
    1 cup chicken stock
    Salt and pepper
    8 to 10 leaves fresh basil, torn or shredded
    4 (6 to 8-inch) crusty sub rolls
    1 1/2 cups shredded provolone

    Recipe




    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
    Place chicken in a bowl and season with grill
    seasoning. Add egg, half of the grated cheese, bread
    crumbs, parsley, and a serious drizzle of extra-virgin
    olive oil to the bowl. Mix the meat and form
    12 large meatballs. Squish the balls to flatten them a
    bit like mini oval meatloaves. Be careful not to form
    the balls wider than your bread. The flattened balls
    will stay put on your sub, no roll-aways!
    Bake the meatballs 15 minutes until golden and firm.
    Switch the broiler on.

    While the meatballs bake, heat a medium skillet over
    medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    and garlic and cook 5 minutes then remove the cloves.
    Add crushed red pepper flakes then tomatoes and stir
    in the chicken stock. Season the sauce with salt and
    pepper and simmer 10 minutes, adjust seasonings and
    stir in the basil. Reserve a extra sauce for dipping
    on dinner table.

    Remove the meat from oven and loosen with a thin
    spatula. Turn meat balls in sauce.

    Cut sub rolls making the bottom a little deeper than
    the top. Hollow out a little bread and lightly toast
    the sub rolls under broiler. Fill the bottoms of the
    breads with flattened balls and sauce. Combine the
    provolone and remaining Parmigiano. Cover the subs
    with cheese and return to broiler to melt the cheese
    until golden.
