- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 8 slices Mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 4 Ciabatta rolls
- To taste Salt and pepper
- For frying Olive oil
- For garnish Fresh basil optional
Step 1 – Prep the Chicken
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat tenderizer.
Season both sides with salt and pepper.
“Getting that chicken perfectly thin ensures a quick cook time and juicy results!”
Step 2 – Dredging Station
Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of Panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan.
Dip each chicken breast first in flour, then egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture.
“Each layer adds to the crunch and flavor, making it utterly irresistible.”
Step 3 – Fry the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Fry the chicken until golden brown on each side and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.
“The sizzle when chicken hits the oil is the sound of deliciousness starting!”
Step 4 – Assemble the Sandwich
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the fried chicken on a baking sheet.
Top each piece with marinara sauce and two slices of mozzarella.
Bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 10 minutes.
“Melty cheese and rich marinara bring this chicken parm sandwich together!”
Step 5 – Serve It Up
Toast the ciabatta rolls lightly.
Place a piece of the cheesy chicken on each roll.
Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
“The final touch of basil will give a fresh contrast to the rich flavors!”
- For an extra crispy crust, toast the breadcrumbs in a skillet with a bit of olive oil before dredging.
- Use homemade marinara sauce for a richer flavor profile.
