Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 4 garlic knots (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 8 oz sliced fresh mozzarella cheese
- 2 tsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 5–7 minutes per side.
- Once the internal temperature reaches 165°F, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest. In the same skillet, pour in marinara sauce and simmer until heated through.
- Slice garlic knots in half horizontally. Place cooked chicken on each bottom half, top with marinara sauce and several slices of mozzarella.
- Bake assembled sandwiches for 10–15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve with extra marinara drizzled on top.
