A Chicken Deli Trio Ovensub is a sub bun with butter, stacked with thinly sliced deli chicken breast meat, bologna, salami, and cheese. Oven-toasted and topped with a Deli Mayo and cold sandwich vegetables that include thinly sliced onions, sliced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce. It’s the warm and cold contrast with the crispy toasted buns and melted cheese that makes this ovensub so good.
Ingredients for Chicken Deli Trio Ovensub
Sub Buns, Butter, Deli Mayo (Mayonnaise, Yellow Mustard, Pickle Juice, Sugar, Green Onion, Celery Salt, White Pepper, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder), Deli meats (Chicken Breast, Bologna, Salami), Cheese, Onions, Tomatoes, Lettuce.
Deli Mayo
This Deli Mayo is an amazing deli spread or sauce that is used for all sorts of things and very similar to the lumberjack spread. It makes for incredible sandwiches! Easy too; just mix the ingredients together and set aside until ready to use.
Ovensub Buns
Any good 12-inch sub bun can be used here. Slice them half and place them on a baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 450F with the rack in the middle position or slightly higher and butter the buns.
Deli Chicken Trio Meats
The deli meats used for this ovensub are roasted deli chicken, beef bologna, and salami. Use 3 full slices of chicken breast per sub on the bottom sub bun. Slice the bologna and salami in half, using 3 pieces per sub. The top sub bun is just buttered and toasted; it will later be topped with cold sandwich vegetables.
Cheese used for Chicken Deli Trio Ovensub
While this recipe uses shredded cheddar cheese, you can opt for other cheeses of choice. Either shredded or cheese slices, sliced in half, can be used. The cheese is placed right on top of the meat.
Toasting Ovensubs
Place the tray into the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes to toast the subs and just melt the cheese. After these come out of the oven, they’re ready to be topped with Deli Mayo and sandwich vegetables.
Ovensub Cold Toppings
Spread on the desired amount of Deli mayo on the now toasted top sub bun. Then add the desired amount of thinly sliced onion, sliced tomatoes, and finally shredded lettuce. Flip over the top bun onto the bottom bun with meat & cheese. Slice in half and serve right away.
