Are you tired of settling for mediocre chicken Parmesan from sub shops or Italian joints? Look no further! With this surprisingly easy recipe, you can create a mouth-watering, crispy, and juicy chicken Parmesan that will impress even the pickiest eaters.

The Secret to Success: Baking Steel Griddle

To achieve the perfect crunch and golden brown color, we recommend using a Baking Steel Griddle. If you don’t have one, don’t worry – you can always pan-fry. But trust us, the griddle makes all the difference.

Prepare Your Ingredients

Before you start cooking, make sure you have the following ingredients within arm’s reach:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper
• 1 large egg, whisked with 1 teaspoon water
• 4 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
• 1 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast, butterflied
• 4 tablespoons honey mustard
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce
• Butter, softened
• 1 soft kaiser roll
• 4 ounces mozzarella, thinly sliced
• Fresh basil (optional)

Let’s Get Cooking!

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Position your Baking Steel Griddle on the stovetop and preheat on medium-high heat for 10 to 15 minutes, aiming for a surface temperature of 300 to 325°F. Set up three separate bowls: one with the flour, one with the egg wash, and one with the panko. Place them in that order, with the panko bowl closest to the griddle.

Step 2: Coat the Chicken

Rub the chicken all over with the honey mustard. Then, dip the chicken in the flour, followed by the egg wash, and finally the bread crumbs.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

Brush the Baking Steel Griddle with olive oil and place the chicken on the oiled surface. Cook the first side for about 3 minutes or until deep golden and toasty. Flip and cook on the second side, noting that it may take slightly less time to cook than the first side.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich

Near the end of the cooking time, heat your tomato sauce and butter both halves of your roll. Place the roll, butter-side down, on the griddle and toast to your liking. On the bottom bun, stack the chicken, sauce, cheese, another layer of sauce, and the top bun. Add some fresh basil if you’re feeling fancy!

Serve and Enjoy!

Your crispy, juicy, and flavorful chicken Parmesan is ready to be devoured. Serve immediately and relish the oohs and aahs from your family and friends!
