🍗 Ingredients You’ll Need
This recipe makes 2 hearty sandwiches, but feel free to scale up as needed:
For the Chicken:
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (sliced in half lengthwise to make 2 cutlets)
Salt & pepper, to taste
1/2 cup flour
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup breadcrumbs (Italian-style preferred)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Oil for frying (vegetable or olive oil)
For the Sandwich:
4 slices of thick-cut Italian or sourdough bread
4 tablespoons butter (softened)
1/2 cup marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup shredded mozzarella or 4 slices mozzarella
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for extra kick)
Optional: fresh basil leaves for garnish
🔥 How to Make It
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.
Dredge each piece in flour, dip into beaten egg, then coat with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 2: Assemble the Sandwich
Butter one side of each slice of bread.
On the unbuttered side, spread a spoonful of marinara sauce.
Layer on mozzarella cheese, a crispy chicken cutlet, more marinara, and extra Parmesan.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
Step 3: Grill It Up
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Cook the sandwich 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
Slice in half, serve hot, and get ready for flavor fireworks.
🤤 Why You’ll Love It
Crispy + Melty Combo: The texture of crispy fried chicken against melted cheese and buttery bread is unbeatable.
Full Meal in a Sandwich: It’s filling enough to be dinner, but easy enough to make for lunch.
Customizable: Swap in grilled chicken for a lighter version or use spicy marinara for a kick.
