Preparation

Step 1

1. Prep ingredients
Preheat oven to 450ºF with a rack in the upper third. Peel and roughly chop 4 large garlic cloves. Thinly slice fontina. Trim ends from broccoli, then cut into 1-inch spears. Split hero rolls, if necessary. In a small bowl, stir together ⅓ of the garlic (save rest for step 2) and 3 tablespoons oil. Brush or spoon garlic-oil all over cut sides of bread.

2. Make sauce
Heat 1 tablespoon oil and remaining garlic in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. When sizzling, about 1 minute, add tomato paste and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add 1 cup water, ¾ teaspoon each salt and sugar, and a few grinds of pepper. Boil until reduced to 1¼ cups, 4–5 minutes. Pour sauce into a measuring cup. Rinse and dry skillet.

3. Roast broccoli
While sauce cooks, toss broccoli with 3 tablespoons oil on a rimmed baking sheet, and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast in oven until tender and browned and crisp in spots, about 12 minutes, adding bread to sheet after about 8 minutes to lightly toast (watch closely). Remove sheet from oven; wrap bread in foil to keep warm. Turn broiler to high.

4. Cook chicken
Meanwhile, pat chicken dry and season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium-high. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat and cover chicken with tomato sauce, sauce will sizzle.

5. Broil chicken & bread
Top chicken with sliced fontina and place skillet in oven. Broil until fontina is melted, and golden brown in spots, and sauce is bubbling, about 3 minutes (watch carefully). Cut roll crosswise into slices and serve alongside chicken, roasted broccoli, and remaining sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
