The best Chicken Parmesan Sandwich is easy to make right in your own kitchen. This ridiculously good sandwich is made with the tastiest garlic buttered Texas Toast. Paired with a delicious fried chicken cutlet and scratch made marinara sauce. So much flavor packed in an easy to make sandwich. All made in just 1 hour.
Chicken parmesan is a family favorite recipe that we always serve with garlic bread. So why not turn it into a sandwich. My goodness did this sandwich turn out far better than I imagined. The garlic buttered Texas Toast really takes this sandwich to the next level. I put a little marinara sauce on top of the chicken and serve the rest for dipping. This sandwich is so good dipped in the marinara sauce. I wouldn’t put too much of the marinara sauce on the sandwich because it will make the toast soggy. Dipping is the way to go with this sandwich.

How to make Chicken parmesan sandwich on Texas Toast
Make the marinara sauce– In a small saucepan over medium low heat sauté the onions until soft then add in the garlic and sauté 30 more seconds. Next add in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and all of the seasonings. Simmer for at least 20 minutes.
Make the chicken: Start by cutting the chicken in half lengthwise to make 4 thin cutlets. Lightly pound out the thicker parts of the chicken to the same thickness as the rest of the chicken.
Season the chicken with a little salt and pepper and set aside. In a shallow dish (like a pie dish) combine the breadcrumbs with all of the seasonings. Mix well. In a separate shallow dish add the flour. In another shallow dish make the eggwash by combining the eggs and water, mixing until fully combined.
Bread: Bread each of the chicken cutlets by dredging in the flour first, then dipping in the eggwash then coating with the breadcrumbs. Fry the chicken and place on a rack with pan until all of the chicken is done.
Bake: When all of the chicken is cooked topped each piece with the desired amount of shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Place in the oven and set to broil. Cook just until the cheese has melted.
Make the Texas Toast: Melt the butter then add in the seasonings. Coat the bread with the garlic butter and place in a 375° F for 6-10 minutes or until toasted.
Assemble the sandwich: Take the chicken and place it on the Texas Toast and top with another piece of toast. Serve with the marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
