Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     French

Time 10h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 cups Italian-style salad dressing
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 ½ cups milk
1 egg
3 cups Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, divided, or as needed
10 slices prosciutto, chopped into chunks
4 cups marinara sauce
canola oil as needed
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, or more to taste
4 Italian sub rolls
8 slices provolone cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Slice each chicken breast down the center to make 4 cutlets. Place each between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound to about 1/2 inch thinness with a meat mallet.
  • Marinate chicken breasts in Italian dressing in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Remove chicken to bring to room temperature 1 hour before cooking.
  • Combine flour and baking powder in one bowl, milk and egg in another bowl, and bread crumbs in a third bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a pan over medium heat. Cook prosciutto in the hot butter until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Bring marinara sauce to a simmer in a saucepan.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Lay chicken cutlets out flat. Line 1/4 of mozzarella cheese down the center of each and sprinkle 1/4 of prosciutto over cheese. Fold cutlets in half over the stuffing and secure edges together with toothpicks.
  • Dunk rolled chicken into the flour mixture, then egg mixture, and finally bread crumbs.
  • Drop chicken into the preheated fryer and cook until crumbs are golden brown, chicken floats, and is no longer pink in the center, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to let grease run off.
  • Cut sub rolls down the centers and spread remaining butter into interiors. Assemble sandwiches in the following manner: bottom sub half, chicken cutlet, marinara, provolone cheese, Parmesan cheese, and top sub half. Transfer subs to a baking pan.
  • Toast in the preheated oven until bread is crisp and cheeses are melted, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
24 jumbo pasta shells (about 10 ounces)
6 frozen chicken tenders (about 12 ounces)
1 pound whole-milk ricotta
1 cup grated Parmesan
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
3 cups shredded mozzarella (about 12 ounces)
2 1/2 cups marinara sauce

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta shells until just slightly softened but still firm, about 7 minutes. Drain well, then rinse under cold water. Arrange the shells in a single layer on a baking sheet, without touching each other.
  • Cook the chicken tenders according to the package directions. Slice the tenders into quarters; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, stir together the ricotta, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, 1 1/2 cups of the mozzarella and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Transfer the mixture to a medium resealable plastic bag. Snip 1/2 inch off one corner of the bag.
  • Spread 1 cup of the marinara sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. While holding a shell open with your fingers, pipe full with the ricotta mixture (about 1 1/2 tablespoons), then transfer to the baking dish. Press 1 chicken strip on top of the ricotta mixture. Repeat with the remaining shells, ricotta and chicken. Spoon the remaining 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce over the shells, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella.
  • Bake, uncovered, until the cheese is melted and golden brown and the casserole is bubbling slightly on the sides, about 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your stuffed chicken parmesan sub. Look for high-quality chicken, cheese, and sauce.

  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is a key component of this dish, so make sure it's flavorful and delicious. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Be generous with the cheese: Cheese is what makes chicken parmesan so delicious, so don't be shy about adding it. Use a combination of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will help it to hold up better to the sauce and cheese. You can toast the bread in a toaster oven or on a grill.
