Mini chicken subs are really simple to make and incredibly delicious. I serve them up at parties, and they are an instant hit with everybody. They are also great at a BBQ. They make a great match with burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, etc.
As with every recipe on Cook n’ Share, the cooking tips are as follows: I use a pretty basic rub which consists of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You, of course, can season the breasts any way you wish. The most difficult part of making mini chicken subs is frying the chicken. There is a bit of a trick to it. I usually preheat my pan over medium high heat and add the breasts in. Use a big enough pan because you don’t want to overcrowd it. Fry them for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side. A good indicator when to flip them over is when the meat turns from pink to white half way up the breast. You don’t want the heat too high as you will end up with a tough sear on the outside of your chicken. To shred them, I take two forks, start at one edge of the breast, and pull the meat in opposite directions. I use standard hot dog buns, put them in the oven, and slightly toast them. This recipe calls for some pretty basic toppings, but you can be as creative as you want.
