Equipment

  • A skillet or frying pan
  • A baking she
  • Aluminum foil
  • A meat tenderizer
  • A chef’s knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

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!”

Notes

  • 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.
