Chicken Parmesan Sub


The Wheel of Meals landed on Sandwiches.

I've had this recipe flagged in my cookbook for awhile, and I finally got an excuse to make it.  I know it's not much of a recipe...pretty easy--mostly an assembly.  But I cooked the chicken and spinach so I say it counts as a recipe.  I liked it.

Chicken Parmesan Sub
from Eating Well Serves Two
~400-460 calories/serving (depending on the ingredients)

Ingredients:
1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ground pepper
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (8 oz)
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
6-oz bag of spinach
1/3 cup marinara sauce
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
2 whole wheat sandwich buns/rolls, toasted

Directions:
Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.  Place chicken between two large pieces of plastic wrap and pound chicken to 1/4" thickness.  Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture.

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add spinach, and cook, stirring often, until wilted, 1-2 minutes.  Transfer to a small bowl.

Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pan.  Add the chicken, and cook until golden on first side, about 2-3 minutes.  Turn the chicken, reduce heat to medium, and top with the wilted spinach, marinara sauce, Parmesan, and mozzarella.  Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.  Serve on rolls.
