Description
A quick and comforting fusion of crispy breaded chicken, gooey provolone, marinara sauce, and buttery bread—this Lazy Chicken Parmesan Grilled Cheese delivers all the flavor of chicken Parmesan in sandwich form, with minimal effort.
Ingredients
2 frozen breaded chicken patties (such as Tyson®)
4 slices Italian or sourdough bread
2 tablespoons garlic butter (or softened butter)
1 cup marinara sauce
½ teaspoon dried basil (optional)
Pinch of garlic salt (optional)
6 thin slices provolone cheese
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Arrange the frozen chicken patties on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, until cooked through and crispy. Slice each patty in half lengthwise.
Combine marinara sauce with dried basil and garlic salt in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until warmed through (30 sec–1 min), stirring.
Spread garlic butter on one side of each bread slice.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. On the unbuttered side of two bread slices, layer 2 slices of provolone, topping with two halves of chicken patty (overlapping), about 1 Tbsp marinara, then another layer of provolone. Top with the second bread slice, butter side up.
Grill sandwiches for 2–3 minutes per side until the bread is golden and cheese melted. Repeat with second sandwich.
Serve with remaining marinara sauce sprinkled with shredded Parmesan cheese.
