Ingredients:

• 2 hoagie rolls
• 1 pound cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Zax Sauce or a mix of ketchup and mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup diced celery
• 1/4 cup diced red onion
• 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/4 cup sliced tomatoes
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, Zax Sauce, diced celery, diced red onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
3. Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise, but not all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.
4. Drizzle the inside of each hoagie roll with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
5. Fill each hoagie roll with the chicken mixture, then top with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese.
6. Toast in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
