A delightful Italian-inspired sandwich featuring chicken, pepperoni, and melted cheese, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Warm the cooked chicken in a microwave-safe dish in the microwave until heated through.
Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid to prevent drying out the chicken.
Heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm.
Stir the sauce occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
Lay the sandwich rolls flat on a baking sheet. On one side of each roll, arrange 8 slices of pepperoni.
Lightly toast the rolls beforehand for added texture.
Distribute the warmed chicken evenly on the other side of each roll.
Use tongs to handle the chicken for easier distribution.
Spoon the marinara sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with the sliced black olives.
Adjust the amount of sauce to your preference for a saucier or drier sandwich.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle dried oregano over the cheese.
For a spicier flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Broil the sandwiches in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the sandwiches to prevent burning.
Fold the rolls over to close the sandwiches and serve hot.
Serve with a side of pickled jalapeños for extra flavor.
