Chicken Parmesan Sub

The Chicken Parmesan Sub is a mouthwatering twist on the classic Italian-American dish, reimagined in sandwich form. It combines golden, crispy chicken cutlets, rich marinara sauce, and gooey melted mozzarella cheese, all nestled inside a warm, crusty sub roll. This sub offers the comforting flavors of traditional Chicken Parmesan with the convenience and fun of a hearty sandwich. Whether you're preparing it for a game day treat, a weekend indulgence, or a weeknight dinner that satisfies, this recipe is always a winner. Its crispy texture, savory sauce, and cheesy topping make it one of those meals that delivers on both flavor and nostalgia. Plus, it's easy to customize and pairs well with a side salad, fries, or just extra marinara for dipping.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to ¼ inch thickness)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 2 large eggs

• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• 4 tablespoons olive oil

• 4 sub rolls (split lengthwise)

• 1 cup marinara sauce (plus more for dipping)

• 8 slices mozzarella cheese

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• Fresh parsley, for garnish
  
  

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for melting the cheese and crisping the bread.

2. Prepare the Chicken
   Season each pounded chicken breast with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in flour, then dip into beaten eggs, and finally coat with a seasoned panko breadcrumb mixture (combined with garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning).

3. Fry the Chicken
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each chicken breast until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, approximately 4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. Assemble the Sandwiches
   Place the sub rolls open-faced on a baking sheet. Spread a spoonful of marinara sauce on the bottom half of each roll, top with the fried chicken, then add more marinara, two slices of mozzarella per sandwich, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

5. Bake
   Place the assembled subs in the oven and bake for 5–10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

6. Garnish and Serve
   Sprinkle with fresh parsley just before serving. Offer more marinara sauce on the side for dipping if desired.
