Ingredients
2 frozen breaded chicken patties (e.g., Tyson®)
2 tbsp garlic butter (or to taste)
4 slices Italian bread
1 cup marinara sauce
½ tsp dried basil (or to taste)
1 pinch garlic salt (or to taste)
6 thin slices provolone cheese
2 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Cook the Chicken: Bake or air fry the chicken patties according to package instructions until crispy and hot.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread garlic butter on the outer sides of the bread slices. On the unbuttered side, layer provolone, chicken patty, marinara sauce, basil, garlic salt, and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Top with more provolone and the second bread slice.
Grill to Perfection: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Grill sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side until the bread is golden and cheese is melted.
Serve Hot: Slice and serve with extra marinara if you’re feeling saucy.
