Essential Ingredients for a Delicious Chicken Parmesan Sandwich
- Chicken Breasts– I chose to pound them down a bit to tenderize others you can grab some thin cut breasts (or just cut them in half).
- Creamy Italian Dressing– For juicy chicken I recommend marinating the chicken in Italian dressing (creamy or regular).
- Italian Seasoning– I add a bit of this to the marinade. You can also brush the buns with some melted butter and more Italian seasoning if you want!
- Marinara Sauce– I just a used a store brand tomato & basil pasta sauce.
- Mozzarella Cheese– I had some Mozzarella slices but shredded works too or any Italian blend.
- Buns– Hoagie buns made the perfect size but ciabatta or any sandwich bun will work.

Chicken Breasts on Blackstone
Fire up your flat top or grill. Add oil if needed and add on the chicken. let cook for several minutes before. flipping to the other side. Once the chicken is done (or close) turn the heat down and a spoonful of sauce to each chicken breast. Then add on the mozzarella cheese. Let melt for a few as you toast the buns on the other side of the griddle.
Once everything is warmed and the cheese is melted, add the loaded up chicken breast to the buns and serve. Optional step– either add a little butter to the side of the flat top with the buns, or you can even melt butter to brush on top of the toasted buns and add a dash of the Italian seasonings too. I hope you like this Blackstone sandwich recipe as much as I do!
