We’re obsessed with this crispy chicken parmesan sandwich. Ok, so we used our crispy chicken parmesan recipe for lunch one day and has some left over from over. So it only took a few seconds for us to realize how amazing these delicious chicken parmesans would be in a sandwich.
Chicken Parmesan Sandwich
Voila! It’s one of the best chicken sandwiches in the best possible way. It’s delicious and well seasoned chicken breast that’s fried, crispy and amazingly juicy. That alone is a great sandwich. But add some super flavorful marinara sauce on top and some mozzarella cheese (we used the fresh buffalo mozzarella btw wow!) and the sandwich becomes the pinnacle of chicken sandwich recipes. It’s juicy, tender and super flavorful. Plus, our combinations of seasonings in the crunchy batter along with all the herbs and spices makes it an outstanding piece of crispy fried chicken.

Favorite Toppings
Add some of your favorite burger or sandwich toppings like tomato, lettuce and even mayo if you like. What you have is a kick-butt sandwich that all your friends are going to drool over. And you know what? If you’re feeling extra over-the-top, add some crispy bacon for that added crunch. But not that you need extra crunch because the chicken batter is amazing already, but the extra bacon just makes it a weee bit more special to bite into. And of course, it’s over-the-top because sometimes crazy sandwiches are always the good ones. Make sure to make extra to share or just make the chicken parmesan for dinner and extra for a chicken sandwich for the next day. You can eat this for 3 days straight and not get tired of chicken parmesan.

- Pat chicken dry. Cut the the breasts in half lengthwise. Pound them into an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. In another bowl, beat the egg(s) (start with one egg and beat another if needed when dredging) and set aside.
