Ingredients for Grilled Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches
Marinate the Chicken
Like stated above, I like to marinate the chicken in Italian dressing to provide even more flavor.
Place the chicken in a container that has a lid or a reusable silicone bag. Pour dressing on top, seal and move around to ensure the chicken is coated.
Marinate for an hour or up to overnight.
Grill the Chicken
Because the chicken is thin, it’ll only need a few minute per side on the grill. Remove it from the Italian dressing and grill over medium heat until you have nice grill marks and juices run clear.
During the last minute of grilling, throw on the mozzarella cheese and allow it to melt.
Toast the Buns
This is an optional step but one I love for the texture it adds to the sandwiches.
Slice the kaiser buns in half and place them on the grill when you top the chicken with the cheese. In the amount of time it takes for the cheese to melt, the buns will perfectly toast.
Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly. About a minute will be perfect.
Assemble Grilled Chicken Parmesan Sandwich
Top the grilled buns with a piece of chicken. Slather the top of the bun with the desired amount of spaghetti sauce.
Throw the bun on top and enjoy your grilled chicken parm sandwich.
What to Serve
Keep the grilling theme going by serving these chicken sandwiches with my official side of summer, grilled potato wedges.
Throw together the best side salad and you’ve got a perfect summer meal.
