Chicken Parmesan is a classic Italian meal, usually served with some buttered pasta. But you all know how much I like to play with classic dishes and make into something a little more fun. That’s where the idea for a Chicken Parm Sandwich came about – the family loves my chicken parm, which I usually serve with pasta. So why not turn it into two hands and five napkins kind of sandwich!
If you do not have some sort of breading or dredging station, you really should get one. It makes hand breading meats so much easier. Plus you use a lot less ingredients because the raised sides of the pans keep them contained. If you use flat plates, you tend to lose lots over the sides and make quite the mess.
Do not skip the toasting step on this sourdough. This is moist sandwich, and you need that extra layer of protection from soggy bread. Using a dry bread like sourdough also helps, if you can get an unsliced boule of sourdough – make the slices slightly thicker than you would normally do. You could enhance the flavors with some garlic sourdough, as well.
This is a hefty sandwich – with an entire chicken breast on each. If you would like a fun side to go with this sandwich, I would suggest some garlic parmesan fries. You can use what ever type of fries you prefer (I like shoestring for this). Melt one stick of butter, and mix in one cup of shredded parmesan cheese, half a cup of chopped fresh parsley and four minced garlic cloves. Immediately after removing the fries from the oven or fryer, pour garlic butter evenly over top.

The fires sound good too Estelle, I have never heard of them made that way. Chicken parm is making me wish it was closer to dinner time. Thank you for sharing your dinner inspiration with us.
That looks so scrumptious! We make chicken parm. sandwiches often and they are usually a huge hit but I never thought of making my own sauce or adding arugula & dressing. YUM!
Replace chicken with Turkey, and mayo with sour cream and you have got me yum yumm. Thanks for sharing at the SSPS #265

I second Tammy’s comment… this is the perfect parm sandwich! We’ve made chicken parm subs but I’ve never thought to add arugula and dressing. I am very excited to give it a try and to feature your recipe at this weeks #SSPS. Thank you for sharing!
