Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for frying
6 cloves garlic, 4 thinly sliced and 2 finely grated
1 28-ounce can whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 chicken tenders (8 ounces each)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 14-inch loaf semolina or other crusty Italian bread
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
6 slices low-moisture mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
Grated Parmesan cheese, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, oregano and a big pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 2 cups, 12 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, flatten the chicken tenders using the base of your hand; season with salt and pepper. Put the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in three separate shallow bowls. Dip the chicken in the flour, then in the egg, shaking off the excess, then in the breadcrumbs to coat. Heat 1/2 inch of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, in batches if necessary, and cook, turning, until golden brown and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
  • Trim the ends off the bread loaf. Cut the bread on an angle into 12 slices, leaving the bottom of the loaf intact. (You can position chopsticks along the long sides of the bread to keep from cutting all the way through.) Transfer to the baking sheet.
  • Combine the butter, grated garlic, 2 tablespoons parsley and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a bowl. Spread between the bread slices and on the ends of the loaf.
  • Fill every other bread slice with tomato sauce, starting with the first slice. Stuff each sauce-filled slice with a chicken tender and a mozzarella slice; spoon more tomato sauce around the chicken. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the loaf.
  • Bake until the cheese melts and the bread is toasted, 15 to 18 minutes. Pull apart or slice into individual sandwiches. Sprinkle with Parmesan and the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley. Serve with the remaining tomato sauce.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 (28-ounce) cans whole tomatoes in purée, puréed in a blender until smooth
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (2 lb total)
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups fine fresh bread crumbs (from firm white sandwich bread), lightly toasted
1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (3 ounces)
5 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups vegetable oil
4 (12-inch-long) loaves Italian bread, halved lengthwise
1 lb fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Make tomato sauce:
  • Heat olive oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté, stirring, 1 minute. Add tomato purée, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
  • Prepare chicken:
  • Gently pound chicken breasts to 1/3-inch thickness between 2 sheets of plastic wrap using a flat meat pounder or a rolling pin. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir together flour, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl, then stir together bread crumbs and Parmigiano-Reggiano in another shallow bowl.
  • Dredge chicken slices in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, letting excess drip off, and dredge in bread crumbs until evenly coated. Transfer chicken to sheets of wax paper, arranging slices in 1 layer.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then Fry chicken 3 pieces at a time, turning over once, until golden brown and just cooked through, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain.
  • Arrange bottom halves of bread loaves on a large baking sheet and tops on another large baking sheet, all with cut sides up. Spread 1/4 cup tomato sauce on each top and bottom. Divide chicken between bottom halves. Top each (open-faced) sandwich with 1/4 cup tomato sauce and one fourth of mozzarella.
  • Bake open-faced sandwiches in lower third of oven until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. When cheese begins to melt, put tops of loaves in upper third of oven and bake until edges are golden, 3 to 4 minutes (watch tops closely; they burn easily). Put tops on bottoms to make sandwiches, then slice into serving pieces.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, organic produce and high-quality cheese and bread.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. This will ensure that it is juicy and flavorful.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce. A good sauce will make or break your chicken parmesan hero sandwich.
  • Use a variety of cheeses to create a flavorful sandwich. Mozzarella, Parmesan, and provolone are all good choices.
  • Broil the sandwich until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will give it a nice, golden brown color.
  • Serve the sandwich hot with your favorite sides, such as fries, salad, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Chicken parmesan hero sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your sandwich is juicy, flavorful, and perfect every time.
