Chicken Parmesan sandwiches

Introduction:

Chicken Parmesan sandwiches are a flavorful combination of crispy breaded chicken cutlets, savory marinara sauce, and melted cheese, all packed into a soft roll. This easy recipe is a perfect solution for a quick, satisfying meal, whether it’s lunch or dinner.

Ingredients:

• Chicken:
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (or panko for extra crunch)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Sauce & Toppings:
  • 1½ cups marinara sauce
  • 4 slices mozzarella or provolone cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves (optional)
  • 4 Italian hoagie rolls
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (for toasting rolls)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Chicken:
   • Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about ½ inch). Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Bread the Chicken:
   • Set up a dredging station with three bowls: flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan in the third.
   • Coat each chicken breast first in flour, then dip into the egg, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture. For extra crispiness, repeat the egg and breadcrumb step.
3. Cook the Chicken:
   • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked. Let the chicken drain on paper towels.
4. Assemble the Sandwiches:
   • Spread melted butter mixed with garlic powder on the rolls and toast them in the oven until slightly browned.
   • Place the cooked chicken on the bottom half of each roll, spoon marinara sauce on top, and cover with mozzarella or provolone cheese slices.
5. Melt the Cheese:
   • Put the assembled sandwiches under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve:
   • Add fresh basil leaves for extra flavor (optional). Close the sandwich and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

This Chicken Parmesan Sandwich offers a perfect balance of textures—crispy chicken, rich sauce, and melted cheese—making it a fantastic go-to meal for busy weeknights or a casual gathering. For best results, serve fresh, but you can also prepare the chicken in advance and assemble the sandwich just before serving.
