Servings::4
Yield::4 chicken sandwiches
Ingredients
cooking spray
4 frozen breaded chicken breast fillets
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 (16 ounce) package frozen garlic bread, thawed
1 cup tomato sauce or marinara sauce
4 slices provolone cheese
12 fresh basil leaves, or to taste
aluminum foil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a baking pan with vegetable oil spray.
Place frozen chicken fillets on the prepared pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn chicken, sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese on each fillet, and bake until crispy, an additional 10 to 12 minutes.
Slice garlic bread into 4 equal portions. Open each portion and place garlic side up on a baking sheet. Warm garlic bread in the oven about 5 minutes.
To assemble the sandwiches, place a chicken fillet on a piece of garlic bread, spoon 1/4 cup tomato sauce or marinara sauce on top of the chicken, and lay a slice of provolone on top of the sauce. Place 3 basil leaves, or more to taste, on each sandwich, and top with the other half.
Wrap each sandwich in foil and return to the oven until the cheese is melted, 5 to 8 minutes. Unwrap and serve warm.
Cook's Note:
Use the same pan for all three steps to save yourself some cleanup. When the chicken comes out of the oven, place on a plate and use the same pan to warm the bread, and then to warm the completed sandwiches.
