Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

One 8.5 ounce jar sundried tomatoes in oil
1 cup basil leaves
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, halved lengthwise and sliced into 8 pieces total
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves
2 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced into rounds

Steps:

  • For the sundried tomato pesto: Put the sundried tomatoes and their oil in a food processor along with the basil, Parmesan and salt. Process to combine.
  • For the chicken Parmesan: Season the chicken cutlets on both sides with the salt and pepper. Cut them in half crosswise. Using 3 wide, shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and combine the panko, Parmesan and oregano in the third.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour to coat lightly, shaking off the excess. Dip the chicken into the egg and then into the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crust to the chicken. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown on the first side, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently flip all of the chicken over and layer 1 mozzarella slice on top. Cook until the second side is golden brown and the mozzarella has melted, about 4 more minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, mozzarella-sides up. Spread about 1 tablespoon of Sundried Tomato Pesto on top. Put a tomato slice on 8 of the pieces, and then top them with the remaining 8 pieces, mozzarella sides down, to make little sandwiches. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN PARMESAN HOAGIE SANDWICH



Chicken Parmesan Hoagie Sandwich image

I made these for dinner last night and my husband LOVED them! In fact, my 22-month old daughter loved them, too! You can actually make a bunch of the chicken breasts ahead of time and freeze them. When ready to eat, just add the tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese and you're golden! Quick, easy, yummy chicken parm sandwiches. Perfect for Superbowl Sunday or any other time you need a great hoagy sandwich! We really liked these. Hope you do, too. :D Oh yeah, the chicken breasts I use are sliced to make them thinner and easier to cook evenly. If you have thicker breasts, you'll need to cook these longer in the oven. ENJOY!

Yield 4 Sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 cup tomato sauce (I use Authentic Italian Tomato Sauce)
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 hoagie rolls
canned jalapeno (optional)
olive oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Add the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper to a Ziplock bag and shake to mix well.
  • Pour into a low flat bowl or onto some waxed paper.
  • Drop each chicken breast into the beaten egg and dredge in the breadcrumb, Parmesan cheese and herb mixture.
  • Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil over medium high heat in a pan.
  • Add the breaded chicken breasts, two at a time so as not to over-crowd the pan.
  • Cook on medium high heat for about 3 minutes per side.
  • Remove breasts to a paper towel-lined plate and fry the other two chicken breasts.
  • Place the cooked chicken breasts on a baking dish and cover each breast with 1/4 cup tomato sauce.
  • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over each one.
  • Place in a 400-degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or long enough to melt the cheese and get the tomato sauce nice and hot.
  • I add the hoagie rolls to the oven when there is about 5 minutes left to get them nice and toasty and crusty.
  • Slice the hoagie rolls, add the chicken Parmesan breast and top with sliced jalapenos, if desired.
  • YUM!

  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook them just until they are cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
  • Make sure the cheese is melted and gooey: The melted cheese is one of the best parts of a chicken parmesan sandwich. Use a good quality mozzarella cheese that melts well.

  • Serve the sandwich hot: A chicken parmesan sandwich is best when served hot and fresh. If you are making it ahead of time, reheat it in the oven or toaster oven before serving.
