Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Chicken Parmesan Subs

Making Chicken Parmesan Subs at home is a breeze! Follow these simple steps to whip up a delicious meal that your family will love.

Preheat the Oven: set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it nice and hot for baking the chicken.

Prepare the Baking Pan: Lightly spray a baking pan with cooking spray. This will keep everything from sticking.

Bake the Chicken: Place the frozen chicken fillets on the prepared pan. Bake them for 10 to 12 minutes. Flip them halfway through and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese on each fillet before returning them to the oven for another 10 to 12 minutes until they’re golden and crispy.

Prepare the Garlic Bread: While the chicken is baking,cut the garlic bread into four equal portions. Place them garlic-side up on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for about 5 minutes.

Assemble the Subs: Once the chicken is done, it’s time to build our sandwiches! On each portion of garlic bread, place a crispy chicken fillet. Spoon ¼ cup of tomato sauce over the chicken, and add a slice of provolone cheese. top it off with fresh basil leaves to taste, and then place the other half of the garlic bread on top.

Melt the Cheese: Wrap each sandwich in aluminum foil and return them to the oven for about 5 to 8 minutes to melt the cheese.

Serve and Enjoy: Unwrap the sandwiches and serve them warm. Each bite is a comforting mix of crispy chicken,melted cheese,and zesty sauce.

These steps will guide you through creating your very own Chicken Parmesan Subs that are sure to impress! Happy cooking!

Serving Suggestions and Storage Tips for Chicken Parmesan Subs

After you’ve put in the effort to create these delicious Chicken Parmesan Subs, it’s time to enjoy and store them properly for later! Here are some handy serving suggestions and storage tips to make the most of your meal.

Serving Suggestions

These Chicken Parmesan Subs are best enjoyed warm,straight out of the oven. I love serving them with a side of crispy French fries or a simple green salad for a balanced meal. You can also pair these sandwiches with a tasty dipping sauce.A homemade basil pesto or a store-bought marinara sauce is perfect for dipping.

If you want to add a little extra flair, consider topping your subs with sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick or a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese for that added richness. You coudl even serve them in a toasted sandwich roll for a bit of a twist. Whatever your preference, these sandwiches are versatile and can be dressed up or down!

Storage Tips

If you have leftovers (although they’re often devoured quickly), you can store your Chicken Parmesan Subs for later. First, let them cool wholly. Then, wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out. Place the wrapped sandwiches in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

These subs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through and the cheese is gooey again, about 10 minutes. Avoid using the microwave, as it may make the bread soggy.

With these serving and storage tips, you’ll be all set to savor your Chicken Parmesan Subs, whether it’s fresh out of the oven or enjoyed as a delicious leftover!

Recipe notes and Troubleshooting for Chicken Parmesan Subs

Cooking can be unpredictable, but with a few tips in your back pocket, you can troubleshoot any issues that arise while making these Chicken Parmesan Subs. Here’s what to keep in mind:

Recipe Notes

Frozen Chicken Fillets: While I recommend using frozen breaded chicken, you can also use homemade breaded chicken for an even fresher taste. Just make sure to season the chicken well before breading.
Cheese Options: If provolone isn’t your favorite, feel free to substitute it with mozzarella or fontina cheese. Each will bring a different flavor profile, but still delicious!
Basil Freshness: Fresh basil makes a noticeable difference, but if you don’t have it on hand, you can use a sprinkle of dried basil instead. Just remember that dried herbs are more concentrated, so use about a third of the amount.

Common Issues and Solutions

Soggy Bread: If your garlic bread seems soggy after baking, make sure to wrap only the cooked chicken in foil while melting the cheese. This way, the bread stays crisp.
Cheese Not Melting Properly: If the cheese doesn’t melt as desired, increase the oven temperature slightly or place the sandwiches under the broiler for a minute or two, but keep a close eye to prevent burning!
Chicken Undercooked: Always ensure that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If you’re unsure, a kitchen thermometer is a great tool to have.

These notes and troubleshooting tips should help you navigate the cooking process smoothly and create a delightful meal every time. enjoy your Chicken Parmesan Subs!
