Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste
  2. 7 ounces fresh mushrooms, quartered
  3. 1 medium red onion, sliced
  4. 1 clove garlic, minced
  5. 3 fluid ounces sherry wine
  6. 1 ounce capers
  7. 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  8. 1 teaspoon dried basil
  9. 3 cups marinara sauce
  10. 2 pounds shredded cooked chicken breast
  11. 8 (6 inch) hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
  12. 8 slices provolone cheese
  13. ¼ cup sliced black olives, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic; sauté until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add sherry, capers, oregano, and basil; cook until 1/2 of the sherry has cooked out. Add marinara sauce. Stir in chicken and cook until sauce has reduced by a third, 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. While the sauce is reducing, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler.
  4. Place split hoagie rolls on a baking sheet and top each with a slice of provolone cheese.
  5. Broil until cheese is melted and rolls are toasted, 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Fill each toasted bun with chicken mixture and top with sliced olives.
