Lazy Chicken Parmesan Grilled Cheese

Wanted to eat a chicken Parmesan sub but didn't feel like spending the time cooking and breading chicken. So I opted to cut corners using frozen chicken patties and pre-prepared ingredients to make my life easier. Picked up the sub rolls and couldn't justify eating that many calories, so opted instead for sliced Italian bread and thin-sliced cheese. Turned out so surprisingly good, I thought I'd share. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

2 frozen breaded chicken patties (such as Tyson®)
2 tablespoons garlic butter, or to taste
4 slices Italian bread
1 cup marinara sauce
½ teaspoon dried basil, or to taste
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
6 thin slices provolone cheese
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place chicken patties on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and crispy, about 20 minutes. Cut chicken patties in half lengthwise.
Spread garlic butter onto 1 side of each bread slice.
Mix marinara sauce, basil, and garlic salt together in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until warmed, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir.
Place 1 bread slice, butter-side down, into a skillet; top with 2 slices provolone cheese, 1 tablespoon marinara sauce, 2 chicken patty halves, overlapped to cover bread, 2 tablespoons marinara sauce, 1 slice provolone cheese, and bread, butter-side up. Cook over medium heat until bread is crisp and cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over remaining marinara sauce and serve alongside each sandwich.

Recipe Tip

You can use mozzarella cheese instead of Parmesan cheese.

Babaci's Potato Pierogi

This recipe was given to me by my grandmother. One of my friends from Poland told me they were better than his mother's!

Roast Pheasant

This roast pheasant recipe is quick, simple, and has an autumn feel. It is very good roasted with diced potatoes, carrots, and seasonal squash (I like acorn squash). You can cook it at a higher temperature for a shorter time — just be sure to baste often since it is a very lean meat.

Easy Grilled Flounder

The thing that makes this easy grilled flounder easy is a reusable, nonstick grilling mat. Flounder is very tender, and the filets are uneven in thickness. You’ll only need to grill it on one side! Because of its delicate nature, direct cooking will only take a few minutes, so the other parts of your menu need to be complete when you start cooking the fish. We love this with a simple baked sweet potato and a green salad.

Hearty Multigrain Bread

This hearty multigrain bread is a solid textured loaf appropriate for sandwiches, spreads, or eating with a meal. It has two kinds of grains and three kinds of seeds in it. It's solid and hardy, yet light and sweet.

Grilled Pineapple Mango Salsa

This pineapple mango salsa is so easy to make and versatile too. Add what you like, leave out what you don't like. It should taste as fresh as summer! Great with fish, chicken, pork, chips, or just with a spoon!
