Chicken Parmesan Sandwich

I love making Italian dishes for my family. Generally, they are easy to prepare and since they are some of my personal favorites, I find myself adding those dishes to the family dinner spread quite often. And making Chicken Parmesan is one of those recipes.

There is just something about the combination of white cheese and tomato sauce that can make any dish taste great and when you place that idea in between two Brioche buns, you have a winner winner chicken dinner sandwich. 🙂

Chicken Parmesan Sandwich

My Chicken Parmesan Sandwich is definitely something I can eat on a regular basis. Well-seasoned chicken breast paired with a double serving of cheese (Provolone and a shaved Tuscan blend) plus a flavorful helping of Italian breadcrumb — for the perfect crust — makes this recipe good all the time and any time.

How to Make the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich:

Make sure you cut the chicken breast evenly using the butterfly technique. This ensures even cooking and the tenderness you crave. You also want to make sure the chicken breast is coated well so you can enjoy every bite of crispness once cooked.

I add a little grated Parmesan cheese to the tomato sauce that tops the chicken breast just so that the Parmesan flavor shines through. The Tuscan blend I prefer is a mixture of shaved Parmesan and Fontina cheeses — this cheese alone will make you want to kiss the cook. The cherry on top of this recipe is a generous layer of basil pesto mayo that brings it all together.

If you love Italian dishes and sandwiches are your jam, then this Chicken Parmesan Sandwich will satisfy your need to feed.
