This Blackstone Smashed Chicken Parmesan Sandwich takes a crispy smashed chicken cutlet, melts gooey mozzarella on top, and tucks it into a toasted bun with marinara sauce and Parmesan. It’s an easy and delicious way to make a chicken parm sandwich on your griddle!

Ingredients

Scale
For the Chicken:
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (halved to make 4 thin cutlets)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
For the Sandwich:

  • 4 sandwich buns or ciabatta rolls
  • 1 cup marinara sauce, warmed
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for toasting buns)
  • Fresh basil (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Blackstone: Heat your griddle to medium-high heat (375-400°F) and drizzle with olive oil.

  • Prepare the chicken: Place each chicken cutlet between plastic wrap and pound it slightly thinner (about ¼ inch thick). Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika.

  • Bread the chicken:

    • Dredge each cutlet in flour.
    • Dip in beaten egg.
    • Coat with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.

  • Sear and Smash:

    • Place the breaded chicken on the griddle and press down gently with a spatula or press.
    • Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown.

  • Melt the cheese: Add a slice of mozzarella on top of each chicken cutlet and cover with a dome lid until melted.

  • Toast the buns: Butter the buns and toast them on the griddle for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

 

  • Assemble the sandwiches:

    • Spread marinara sauce on the bottom bun.
    • Place the crispy smashed chicken on top.
    • Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and fresh basil.
    • Add the top bun and serve hot!

Notes

  • No Blackstone? Use a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for a similar result.
  • Want it extra crispy? Double-dredge the chicken in flour and breadcrumbs.

 

  • Prefer a spicy kick? Add red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce or a dash of hot sauce to the egg wash.
