Jalapeno Chicken Parmesan Sandwich
Flavors Used:
This isn’t just any sandwich….homemade marinara sauce and Dan-O’s Jalapeno Cheesoning® is a game-changer.
Don’t forget to use fresh mozzarella! Its moisture keeps the chicken tender and juicy, preventing dryness. Let that cheese melt beautifully, contrasting perfectly with the crunch of the bread. It’s pure gooey goodness in every bite!
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Dan-O’s Jalapeno Cheesoning®
- 2 t bsp Dan-O’s Original
- 1 1/2 pound chicken tenders
- 3 eggs, whisked
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 can (28 oz) peeled tomatoes
- 7 cloves fresh garlic, roughly chopped
- 1 oz fresh basil leaves
- 4 sandwich rolls
- 8 slices mozzarella cheese
Preparation Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a pot, combine the can of tomatoes, chopped garlic, fresh basil leaves, and Dan-O’s Original.
- Simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, for approximately 20 minutes.
- Lay parchment paper on a flat surface. Pound out the chicken tenders to an even thickness.
- Sprinkle 1 tbsp Dan-O’s Original and all-purpose flour over the chicken, then evenly press the mixture into the chicken.
- In a separate dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs with 2 tbsp Dan-O’s Jalapeno Cheesoning®.
- Dip each floured chicken tender into the whisked eggs, then coat in the panko Jalapeño Cheesoning® mixture. Repeat for all chicken tenders.
- Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a pan over medium to high heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Fry the chicken tenders for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a baking sheet with a wire rack.
- Once the tomatoes are soft, blend the mixture using an immersion blender or a regular blender until smooth.
- Top each fried chicken tender with a spoonful of marinara sauce and 1 slice of mozzarella split in half. Sprinkle generously with Jalapeño Cheesoning®.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While the chicken is baking, slice the sandwich rolls in half and place them in the oven for 5 minutes to toast.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing the cheesy chicken tenders on the toasted rolls. Add more marinara sauce if desired, then top with the other half of the roll.
