How to Make a Chicken Parm Sandwich

Step 1: Cut and Pound the Chicken

Cut the chicken breasts into cutlets, and then pound them so they are a half-inch thick. For a detailed look at how to cut chicken breasts into cutlets see this post: How to Make Chicken Cutlets .

Step 2: Bread the Chicken

Drudge the chicken cutlet in flour, then in eggs and milk, and finally the breadcrumb mixture. I love to use pie plates for this step and set up a breading station.

Step 3: Fry the Chicken

Preheat oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit measured with an instant read thermometer . Working with one chicken breast at a time, fry them for two minutes on each side.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwiches

Butter one side of a hoagie roll and sprinkle it with garlic salt. Spread spaghetti sauce on the other side, and then top it with the cooked chicken. Add more spaghetti sauce and top it with cheese. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet . Broil the sandwiches for two minutes or until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.

  • 1/2 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 cup spaghetti sauce store-bought or homemade, see note 2 (250 grams)
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded (56.5 grams)

Instructions

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire cooling rack on top. Set aside.
  • Slice the chicken breasts in half, butterfly style (see photos in the post for more details). If any part of the chicken is still more than half an inch thick , pound them thin by placing the chicken between plastic wrap and using a rolling pin or meat mallet . Pat very dry and lightly salt and pepper the chicken breasts on both sides. 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, salt and pepper
  • Add the flour to a plate. Whisk the eggs and milk in a shallow dish. In a shallow dish stir together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, garlic powder, and oregano. 1 cup all purpose flour, 3 large eggs, 1 tablespoon milk, 1 cup bread crumbs, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 tablespoon dried basil, 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Working with one chicken breast at a time, dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, then the eggs, and then the seasoned bread crumbs. Repeat with all of the chicken.

  • Working with one chicken breast at a time, fry in the oil for 2 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the oil and place on the prepared wire rack. Repeat with each piece of chicken, tenting the fried chicken loosely with foil while you work on the next piece.
  • Open up the hoagie rolls and spread one side of each with butter. Sprinkle with garlic salt. Spread spaghetti sauce on the other side. Top with a piece of chicken, more sauce, and the cheese. Place under the broiler until the bread has just begun to brown and the cheese is starting to melt, about three minutes. Keep a close eye on the sandwiches so they don’t burn. 4 hoagie rolls or baguettes, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons garlic salt, 1 cup spaghetti sauce, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
  • Serve warm and enjoy right away!

Notes

  1. Whether you use a hoagie roll or a baguette, make sure to use something that is hearty and can hold up to the sauce, chicken and cheese.
  2. For convenience you can absolutely use store-bought sauce, but I highly recommend my homemade spaghetti sauce or marinara sauce . They are easy to make, so delicious, and the leftovers store great in the freezer.
