Lazy Chicken Parmesan Grilled Cheese

Dinner Recipes

Description

Wanted to eat a chicken Parmesan sub but didn't feel like spending the time cooking and breading chicken. So I opted to cut corners using frozen chicken patties and pre-prepared ingredients to make my life easier. Picked up the sub rolls and couldn't justify eating that many calories, so opted instead for sliced Italian bread and thin-sliced cheese. Turned out so surprisingly good, I thought I'd share. Enjoy!

Ingreadient

2 frozen breaded chicken patties
2 tablespoons garlic butter, or to taste
4 slices Italian bread
1 cup marinara sauce
½ teaspoon dried basil, or to taste
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
6 thin slices provolone cheese
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

Direction

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place chicken patties on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and crispy, about 20 minutes. Cut chicken patties in half lengthwise.
Spread garlic butter onto 1 side of each bread slice.
Mix marinara sauce, basil, and garlic salt together in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until warmed, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir.
Place 1 bread slice, butter-side down, into a skillet; top with 2 slices provolone cheese, 1 tablespoon marinara sauce, 2 chicken patty halves, overlapped to cover bread, 2 tablespoons marinara sauce, 1 slice provolone cheese, and bread, butter-side up. Cook over medium heat until bread is crisp and cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over remaining marinara sauce and serve alongside each sandwich.
