Ingredients for Chicken Parm Sando 

How to Make Chicken Parm Sandwiches at Home

Slice chicken breasts into 4 thinner pieces. In a shallow bowl, combine mayo, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper. In another shallow bowl combine finely grated Parmesan cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a couple large pinches of salt and pepper. Toss chicken in the mayonnaise mixture until evenly coated on all sides and dredge chicken in the Parmesan/breadcrumb mixture, gently pressing it into the chicken.

Heat oil and butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook chicken on each side for 3-5 minutes or until a dark golden brown crust forms and the chicken is cooked through.

Place chicken on a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet. Top with sliced mozzarella cheese. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starts to turn dark golden brown on top.

Slice hoagie buns in half. Combine butter, parsley, garlic, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper until smooth. Spread garlic butter mixture across the cut sides of each hoagie. Broil hoagie buns, cut side up, for 1-2 minutes or until toasty.

Warm marinara sauce in the microwave. Assemble sandwiches by filling each hoagie with a piece of chicken, top with marinara sauce.

Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!

Tips for Making Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches

• Slice the chicken evenly so it’s the same thickness throughout the breast. You can also pound out the thicker parts of the chicken so that it’s an even thickness throughout. This will ensure that it cooks quickly and evenly.
• Go light on the marinara sauce and serve extra on the side! There is nothing worse than a soggy sandwich so I like to add a dollop of marinara on top of the melted cheese so it doesn’t get the chicken breast soggy and then serve more on the side for dipping.
• If you can’t find hoagie buns, try ciabatta bread instead. You want something with a sturdy crust that’s tender inside.
• Provolone is a great substitute if you can’t find fresh mozzarella.

Make-Ahead Instructions

While these sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh from the oven, you can prep each component separately and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to reheat and assemble.

Storing Leftover Chicken Parmesan

• These sandwiches will get soggy if they are assembled and then refrigerated.
• Store each part of the sandwich separately if you have leftovers.
• This will ensure that when you reheat everything it gets crispy and delicious!

Reheating Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches

• Reheat crispy Parmesan chicken breasts and garlic buttered hoagie buns in a 350-degree oven on a baking sheet until warmed through. Add fresh mozzarella and broil.
• Or you cook chicken in a large saute pan with a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Cooking on each side for a few minutes until warmed through.
• Reheat the marinara sauce in a saucepan on the stove or in the microwave.
