Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese chunks
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shaved
- 1 cup panko
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- parsley for garnish
- 4 Brioche buns toasted
Instructions
- Add the canola oil, chicken and onions to a large skillet on medium high heat breaking it apart but leaving some chunks about the size of a raspberry or small grape (don't crush the heck out of it, the larger crumbles will help give the sandwich stability).
- Cook until well browned (5-6 minutes), then add in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning and continue cooking until the sauce starts to evaporate and the mixture becomes "sloppy" (about 5-6 minutes).
- In a smaller skillet add the olive oil on medium high heat then add in the panko stirring until it starts to toast (about 1-2 minutes) then remove from the pan into a bowl to stop the cooking.
- When the sauce is reduced top with mozzarella chunks.
- Toast the buns then spoon over the chicken and cheese mixture, top with parmesan cheese and toasted panko.
