Chicken Parm Sandwich Recipe (with Video)

Preparing the Sauce
1. Heat the olive oil over medium heat and add all but 2 cloves worth of the garlic and the red pepper flakes.
2. Saute until fragrant and then add the tomatoes and basil.
3. Simmer for 30 minutes on low before adding the heavy cream.
4. Salt to taste.
Preparing the Garlic Bread
1. In a medium sized bowl, combine the butter, reserved 2 cloves of minced garlic and dried parsley.
2. Slice your rolls in half and spread the butter mixture on the inside layer and place under the broiler for a couple of minutes or until it just starts to toast.
3. Be careful not to toast it too much here because we will toast it again later.
Preparing the Chicken Cutlets
1. To prepare the cutlets, slice the chicken breasts in half to yield two thin slices and use a mallet to thin out any thicker areas.
2. In three separate bowls add the flour, egg and milk (whisked together), and seasoned bread crumbs.
3. Start by coating the chicken in flour, making sure to shake off the excess.
4. Then dip the chicken in the egg mixture and then into the bread crumbs.
5. Press down on the chicken to really make sure the bread crumbs coat it evenly and thoroughly.
Frying the Chicken
1. In a large saute pan or cast iron pan, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium high heat until 350 degrees F.
2. Fry the chicken for about 3 minutes per side.
3. Remove from the oil and immediately season with salt.
Assembling the Sub
1. Prepare the sub by adding a layer of sauce to each side of the bread.
2. Then place down 1-2 cutlets depending on the size of the bread and top with the mozzarella and parm.
3. Broil the sandwich (without the top) for a minute or two to melt the cheese.
4. Enjoy!
