Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well. Let marinate for at least 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill or Cook Chicken

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Cook the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Sauté Peppers and Onions

    In the same skillet or a separate pan, add a little olive oil if needed and sauté the sliced bell peppers and onion over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Prepare the Grinder

    Slice the grinder rolls lengthwise without cutting all the way through. If desired, spread mayonnaise inside the rolls.

  2. 5

    Add the Fillings

    Layer the sliced grilled chicken, sautéed peppers, and onions into the rolls. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  3. 6

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the assembled grinders under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Serve

  1. 7

    Final Touch

    Remove from the oven, add hot sauce if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
