The sandwich version of a delectable Italian-American classic, a chicken parm sandwich is equally welcome at the lunch table or when hosting guests for a casual dinner.
Ingredients
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 italian rolls, split
2 slices provolone cheese
1/3 cup marinara or other meatless pasta sauce, warmed
Directions
Place flour and egg in separate shallow bowls. In another bowl, toss bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese.
Pound chicken with a meat mallet to 1/2-in. thickness; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dip chicken in flour to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip in egg, then in crumb mixture.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken; cook until coating is golden brown and chicken is no longer pink, 4-5 minutes per side. Serve in rolls with provolone cheese and sauce.
