Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup bread crumbs use Italian bread crumbs for extra flavor
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- All-purpose seasoning to taste
- Italian seasoning to taste

For the Sandwich:

- 1 jar of marinara sauce or homemade, if you prefer
- 4 white or wheat hoagie rolls soft and fresh
For the Garlic-Butter Sauce:
- 1 stick butter
- ¼ cup diced parsley
- 1 clove garlic grated (or 2 teaspoon garlic paste)
- 2 tsps garlic paste
- All-purpose seasoning to taste
- Red pepper flakes optional, for a little heat
Instructions
Making Garlic Butter
- We need 1 stick of room temp butter, 1-2 tbsps of garlic, seasoning of your choice, and some diced parsley.
- Mix to combine and boom.. garlic butter spread!
Sandwich Prep
- Cut your French bread into your desired size for the sandwich and then cut down the middle to open it up.
- Spread the butter on both sides and get the bread ready for the oven.
Prep Breading Station
- I highly recommend butterflying your chicken and flattening them out or just buying thinned sliced chicken breast from the store for this recipe.
- Next, prep your chicken breading station. For this, you will need seasoned flour, Italian bread crumbs, and egg wash.
Breading Chicken
- First, we dip the seasoned chicken into the flour and then the egg wash and then finally into the bread crumbs.
- Place the breaded chicken on a sheet pan and get your oil up to 350 degrees.
- Fry the chicken until it reaches 165 internal temp.
- Once the chicken is done frying, hit it with some finishing salt and then place some fresh mozzarella on top of the chicken.
- Place this in the oven at 400 degree until the mozzarella melts (just like standard chicken parm)
Final Steps
- Next, add sliced mozzarella and marinara sauce to your sandwich bread.
- Place in a 400 degree oven for about 5 minutes and then add your chicken.
- Next, cut your chicken parm into small bite sized pieces and add to your sandwich - finish in the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes and serve.
Notes
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
Tips for the Perfect Chicken Parmesan Sandwich:- Chicken Breasts: If you prefer a thinner, juicier chicken cut, consider butterflying the chicken breasts or using chicken cutlets. Thinner pieces will cook faster and stay tender.
- Homemade Marinara: If you want to take this sandwich to the next level, try making your marinara sauce. A simple blend of canned tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, basil, and a pinch of sugar can create a fresh, flavorful sauce that’ll make your sandwich even more delicious.
- Toasting the Rolls: Toasting the rolls with the garlic butter adds a ton of flavor to the sandwich. If you’re looking for an extra crispy crunch, try adding a thin layer of garlic butter to the inside of the roll before you toast it.
