Crockpot Marinara Chicken Hoagies
  1. 1

    Combine the chicken, marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, and pepper in a crockpot. Cook on Low for 4 to 6 hours or on High for 2 to 3 hours.

  2. 2

    Turn off the crockpot and move the chicken to a cutting board. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks or a hand mixer, then return it to the crockpot. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Brush the inside of each sub roll with butter and toast in the preheated oven until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Cover the inside of each toasted bun with shredded mozzarella cheese, spoon the chicken mixture into the bun, and top with a slice of provolone cheese. Place the buns on a baking sheet and return them to the oven for 3 to 4 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Garnish the sandwiches with chopped fresh parsley and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
