The Chicken Parmesan Sandwich is an Italian-American classic, featuring crispy breaded chicken breast topped with marinara sauce, melted mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, all nestled between slices of fresh, toasted bread or a hearty sub roll. Originating from the beloved Italian dish chicken parmigiana, this sandwich transforms the flavors into a handheld option perfect for lunch or dinner. The lean protein from the chicken provides essential nutrients, while the marinara sauce offers antioxidants from tomatoes. However, the breading and frying process add extra calories and fat, and the cheese contributes to a higher sodium and saturated fat content. Choosing whole-grain bread, baking the chicken instead of frying, and moderating the cheese can make this indulgent sandwich a more balanced choice while still delivering its signature savory taste.
