serves/makes:

ready in:
2-5 hrs

ingredients

4 cups tomato sauce (store-bought or homemade)
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
8 ounces mozzarella, cut into 6 slices
6 fresh basil leaves
6 hero or hoagie rolls

directions

Pour the tomato sauce into the slow cooker. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place the pieces, overlapping slightly in the sauce. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours.

Sprinkle the chicken with the Parmigiano-Reggiano and top each piece with a slice of mozzarella and a basil leaf. Cover and cook 15 minutes more, or until the cheese is melted.

Cut rolls partially open and fill each with a cheese-covered chicken breast and sauce. Cut sandwiches in half. Serve hot.
