Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. If desired, you can also grill the chicken.

  2. 2

    Grill the Onions

    In the same skillet, add sliced onions and grill until they are soft and caramelized, about 5-6 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sub

    Slice the sub rolls in half. Spread mayo on both sides of the rolls. Layer with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, grilled onions, cooked chicken, and top with American cheese.

  4. 4

    Final Touches

    Optional: Place the assembled sub in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to melt the cheese slightly. Serve immediately.
