Cooking Tips

• You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts for extra flavor and tenderness.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or eggplant to the cacciatore mixture for added variety.
• If you prefer a spicier hoagie, add some red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the tomato sauce mixture.
• These hoagies can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Simply reheat in the oven before serving.
• Serve the hoagies with a side of crispy fries or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
