Chicken Parm Sandwich Recipe
Description
This sandwich recipe starts by seasoning and breading chicken cutlets with flour, eggs, and a mixture of Italian-flavored breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and spices. The chicken is shallow fried in oil until golden and cooked through, then topped with slices of mozzarella cheese and broiled briefly to melt the cheese. Toasted Italian buns are buttered and sprinkled with garlic salt before toasting, adding a fragrant, crisp base for the sandwich.
The final sandwich includes spoonfuls of warm marinara sauce on each chicken cutlet and fresh chopped basil for brightness. The breaded chicken provides a crispy and flavorful crust complemented by gooey, melted mozzarella. The garlic-buttered toasted buns contribute a fragrant and slightly crunchy foundation for a satisfying handheld meal.
These sandwiches work well for lunch or dinner and can be paired with a simple side salad or fries. The breading technique creates a thick crust that holds up well to the marinara sauce without becoming soggy. The breaded chicken can be prepared in advance and stored refrigerated or frozen, then assembled fresh to maintain bun texture and sandwich quality.
Breaded chicken gets a double dip in egg and breadcrumbs for extra thickness and crunch. Using Italian hoagie-style buns or similar-shaped rolls helps contain the fillings and makes the sandwich easy to hold. Canola or olive oil can be used for frying depending on availability and preference.
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breast cut in half lengthwise
- ½ cup flour
- 4 egg whisked
- 1 ¼ cup breadcrumbs Italian flavored
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons basil dried
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated, fresh
- 2 cups neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 6 Bun Italian style
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese sliced
- 1 ½ cups marinara sauce
- ⅓ cup basil chopped, fresh
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, salt, pepper, and grated parmesan cheese. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs and transfer to a second shallow bowl. Place flour in a third shallow bowl.
- Dredge chicken by dipping the cutlets in the following order: flour, egg, breadcrumbs, egg, breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in pan on medium high heat. When oil is hot, turn heat down to medium and shallow fry the chicken for three to four minutes on each side, until golden brown and no longer pink inside.
- Place the chicken on a rack over a cookie sheet and top with sliced mozzerella cheese. Broil the chicken for 3 minutes until the cheese is melted. Watch carefully so they don’t burn.
- Cut buns in half, spread with butter and sprinkle with garlic salt. Toast under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, watching carefully.
- Heat marinara sauce in the microwave for 1 minute, stirring after 30 seconds. Spoon ¼ cup marinara sauce on each chicken cutlet and sprinkle with chopped basil. Place on buns and serve.
Notes
- Store cooked chicken parm separately from buns to maintain bun texture; refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
- Dredge chicken in egg twice for a thicker, crispier crust.
- Italian-style hoagie buns or similar oblong rolls are recommended for authentic texture.
- Choose neutral or olive oil for frying based on flavor preference.
