🧀🍗 Chicken Parmesan Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients (Makes 2 sandwiches)
2 cooked chicken cutlets (breaded + crispy)
(Leftover chicken parm works great!)
4 slices bread (sourdough, white, or Italian)
½ cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella
¼ cup grated parmesan
2 tbsp butter
Optional extras: garlic powder, Italian seasoning, fresh basil
How to Make It
Heat the chicken
Warm your chicken cutlets in a pan or air fryer until crispy again.
Slice if they’re thick.
Butter the bread
Butter one side of each bread slice. (This gives you that golden crunch 😮🔥)
Build the sandwich (on the unbuttered side)
Mozzarella
Chicken
Spoon of marinara
Parmesan
More mozzarella
Top with another slice of bread (butter side facing out).
Grill it low & slow
Cook in a skillet on medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Rest & slice
Let it sit 1 minute, then cut in half for max cheese pull.
🔥 Optional Upgrades
Spicy: Add crushed red pepper or chili oil
Extra crispy: Sprinkle parmesan directly on the pan before flipping
Garlic bread vibes: Mix garlic powder into the butter
Herby: Add basil or oregano inside
If you want, I can give you:
an air fryer version,
a baked party tray version, or
a high-protein / healthier version 😄
