My husband is not a big fan of Italian food. Yes, you read that right and it bothers this Italian girl to the core. But after 23 years of marriage I’ve come to accept it. Kind of. I continue to try new dishes and when I hit on a winner, like these Parmesan chicken sandwiches, I’m excited.
I originally planned chicken Parmesan with pasta for dinner but that suggestion was met with dismay. So I suggested Parmesan chicken sandwiches. This was intriguing to my husband so I whipped them up. I had already done the prep work so the sandwiches came together quickly.
Use your favorite sub or hoagie rolls. My Publix supermarket has delicious hoagie rolls so that’s what I used. I buy them in the bakery. It’s a hearty sandwich so it needs a hearty roll.
I served them with chips but a macaroni salad or even garden salad would be delicious. These sandwiches are perfect for game day, weekend lunch, or busy weeknight dinner. If you can manage some prep work in advance, the sandwiches take little time to get on the table.

I love Chicken Parm sandwiches. I always would order them at an Italian place back home. Now I have the urge to make these!

This sounds like the perfect recipe to bookmark for next time my hubby's friends come over for board games or a football game.
