Ingredients
- 4 5-oz. hero rolls, sliced in half lengthwise
- 1 Tbs. olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, mashed
- 1 6-oz. pkg. soy "chicken" strips

Preheat broiler.
Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat, and sauté garlic, “chicken” strips, scallions, tomatoes and pepper strips about 5 minutes, or until tomatoes and pepper strips soften. Remove from heat.
Put mixture into large mixing bowl, and stir in yogurt. Season with thyme, salt and pepper. Mound mixture onto hero rolls, and sprinkle each with 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Put rolls onto baking sheet.
