Ingredients

Lazy Chicken Parmesan Grilled Cheese
2 frozen breaded chicken patties (such as Tyson®)
2 tablespoons garlic butter, or to taste
4 slices Italian bread
1 cup marinara sauce
½ teaspoon dried basil, or to taste
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
6 thin slices provolone cheese
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

Lazy Chicken Parmesan Grilled Cheese

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place chicken patties on a baking sheet.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and crispy, about 20 minutes. Cut chicken patties in half lengthwise.

Step 3

Spread garlic butter onto 1 side of each bread slice.

Step 4

Mix marinara sauce, basil, and garlic salt together in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until warmed, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir.

Step 5

Place 1 bread slice, butter-side down, into a skillet; top with 2 slices provolone cheese, 1 tablespoon marinara sauce, 2 chicken patty halves, overlapped to cover bread, 2 tablespoons marinara sauce, 1 slice provolone cheese, and bread, butter-side up. Cook over medium heat until bread is crisp and cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Step 6

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over remaining marinara sauce and serve alongside each sandwich.
