If you love chicken parmigiana, try our spin on this classic Italian sandwich. A well-seasoned, bread-crumb coated chicken is smothered in tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese and baked to perfection before being stuffed between two slices of toasted bread. For variation, you could swap sliced bread for a small hamburger bun. This sandwich is pretty hearty on its own and you won’t need much else to satisfy. So, plan to serve it with a light side dish like a garden salad or raw veggie sticks.
