Chicken Parmesan is a classic Italian dish. Serving it as a sandwich not only makes it ten times better, but also makes it more casual. To make a perfectly crispy chicken cutlet, I'm using panko. You can use a regular one or the Italian seasoned for extra flavour. The store-bought marinara sauce used here is to save you some prep time but feel free to make your own marinara sauce. The whole process is straightforward and the sandwich comes together in less than 30 minutes. You can use any type of sandwich bread that you want; just toast them for a few minutes for extra crispiness.
