Easy Chicken Parmesan Grilled Cheese – Perfectly Crisp and Saucy
Crispy chicken, melty mozzarella, tangy marinara, and golden-buttered bread make this grilled cheese sandwich a next-level lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough or Italian bread
- 2 tbsp butter softened
- ½ cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 cup cooked breaded chicken chicken tenders, patties, or homemade cutlets
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- Optional: fresh basil or red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Heat marinara sauce in a small saucepan or microwave until warm. Keep warm.

- Warm marinara (a spoonful or two)
- More mozzarella + a little parmesan
