Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about half an inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Dip each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to ensure a good coating on all sides.
Cooking
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, ensuring an even coating across the cooking surface.
- Place the coated chicken breasts on the griddle. Let them cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and cooked through (an internal temperature of 165°F).
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, spoon marinara sauce over each piece and place a slice of mozzarella cheese on top. Allow it to melt, about 2-3 minutes.
Assembly
- Slice open the sandwich rolls and place a chicken breast with melted cheese and sauce inside each one. Top with fresh basil for that added burst of flavor.
Serving
- Serve your sandwiches while they’re warm, and watch as everyone digs in with enthusiasm!
Notes
Chicken Substitutions: Consider using boneless turkey breast or eggplant for a vegetarian option. Timing: Ensure the griddle is properly preheated for optimal crispiness. Avoid rushing the breadcrumb coating for desired crunch. Storing: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or wrapped and frozen for 3 months. Reheat on Blackstone or in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
