Ingredients

1 large whole-grain roll
1 thin to medium boneless, skinless chicken breast
3 heaping tablespoon marinara sauce, store-bought or homemade
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Directions

Preheat the broiler.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Scoop the insides out of the roll, place the roll on the baking sheet, and lightly toast under the broiler for 1 to 2minutes. Place the roll on a plate and set aside.
In a pan coated with nonstick oil spray, sauté the chicken until it is no longer pink inside, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Transfer the chicken to the baking sheet, top with the marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Place under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Using a spatula, remove the chicken Parm from the oven and place on a toasted roll
