Chicken Parmesan grilled cheese sandwich

Here’s a crispy, melty Chicken Parmesan Grilled Cheese Sandwich recipe that’s indulgent and easy to make:

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 2 slices Italian bread or sourdough

• 1 cooked chicken breast (about 6 oz), breaded and lightly fried or baked, sliced

• 1/2 cup marinara sauce

• 4 slices mozzarella cheese

• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated

• 2 tbsp butter

• Optional: fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. Prep the Chicken:

• If not already cooked, bread the chicken breast with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, then pan-fry or bake until golden and cooked through. Slice thinly.

2. Assemble the Sandwich:

• Butter one side of each slice of bread.

• On the unbuttered side, layer:

  1. 2 slices mozzarella

  2. Sliced chicken

  3. 2 tbsp marinara sauce

  4. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese

  5. Optional basil

• Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.

3. Cook the Sandwich:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat.

• Grill the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and crispy, 3–4 minutes per side.

• Press lightly with a spatula to help melt the cheese and warm the chicken.

4. Serve:

• Slice diagonally and serve immediately with extra marinara sauce for dipping.

This sandwich is basically Chicken Parmesan in a gooey, cheesy handheld form. Perfect comfort food!

If you want, I can also make a “fast weeknight” version that uses shredded rotisserie chicken and melts everything even faster.

Do you want me to do that?
