Recipe Summary Lazy Chicken Parmesan Grilled Cheese

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!

Ingredients | Compliments Parmesan Cheese

2 frozen breaded chicken patties (such as Tyson®)

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

Directions

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.

Mozzarella cheese can be used in place of the Parmesan cheese.
