Best Chicken Parm Sandwich
This best chicken parm sandwich delivers a crispy crust, tangy marinara, and gooey cheese, creating a restaurant-quality, quick chicken parmesan sandwich perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Italian rolls, split
- 2 slices provolone cheese
- 1/3 cup marinara or other meatless pasta sauce, warmed
Instructions
- Prepare separate shallow bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with a mixture of seasoned bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Pound chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness for even cooking. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess.
- Dip coated chicken into the egg, then press into the bread crumb mixture to coat thoroughly.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Place a slice of provolone cheese on each chicken breast while it’s still in the skillet, allowing it to melt slightly.
- Warm the marinara sauce and spoon onto the base of each Italian roll.
- Assemble the sandwich by layering each chicken cutlet onto the sauced roll, topping with more marinara if desired.
