Description
A delicious and easy Vodka Sauce Chicken Parmesan Sandwich recipe perfect for weeknights. Crispy chicken cutlets are topped with creamy vodka sauce and melted mozzarella cheese, served on your favorite bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Chicken:
- 4 pieces Chicken Breasts
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- For the Topping:
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese
- 2 cups Vodka Sauce
- Optional Extras:
- 1 cup Fresh Basil
- 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Gently flatten the chicken breasts to ensure even cooking and season with salt and pepper.
- Create your breading station: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Once fried, place the chicken on a baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for an additional 8-10 minutes.
- Top each chicken breast with warm vodka sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Bake for about 6 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Place the crispy chicken on your bread of choice, and add fresh basil on top if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Serve with a side of sweet potato fries for a delightful crunch.
- Consider substitutions like turkey cutlets for the chicken, panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch, or provolone cheese for a sharper alternative.
- For a vegan option, use flax or chia meal mixed with water instead of eggs.
- Jarred or homemade vodka sauce works; marinara sauce can be used as a lighter choice.
- Add red pepper flakes to the vodka sauce for a spicy kick.
