Easy Chicken Parmesan Puff Sandwiches
These sandwiches combine the flavors of Chicken Parmesan with the light and airy texture of puff pastry. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Coat the chicken in breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before slicing.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into rectangles large enough to hold the chicken and toppings.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a slice of cooked chicken on one half of each pastry rectangle. Top with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling and press the edges to seal. Brush the tops with beaten egg.
- Bake: Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil if desired, and serve warm.
