I think everybody has a favorite meal at the Cheesecake Factory, right? So many of their menu items are top notch, that it can sometimes be hard to choose what to order! One of my favorites is Cheesecake Factory’s Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. It’s such a simple concept, but something about putting this traditional Italian pasta dish on a roll makes it exciting and completely delicious. So, I’ve re-created the Cheesecake Factory recipe at home, so you can enjoy it whenever you want. I love fried chicken sandwiches in general, and have recreated many of your favorite restaurant ones. Try my Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich, Homemade Chick-Fil-A Sandwich, Cuban Sandwich, or my Nashville style Hot Chicken Sandwich. They’re all seriously good! Are you looking for an Instant Pot recipe? Try making my Instant Pot Chicken Parmesan. It’s not quite as crispy as this recipe, but still amazing and super easy and fast to cook. You can also make crispy Chicken Parmesan cutlets to serve with pasta instead of on a sandwich, or try my easy Chicken Parmesan Meatballs! Enjoy your delicious Cheesecake Factory copycat chicken parmesan sandwich! Make sure to pin this recipe so more people can enjoy it too.
Chicken: to make four sandwiches, you’ll need two boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin cutlets. If your chicken breasts are particularly thick, you may need to pound them out to get them thin enough. To save time, buy cutlets already cut from the butcher. Flour: regular all-purpose flour is step one of the breading process. It helps to absorb moisture from the chicken. Eggs: Step two of the breading process is an egg wash, this works to adhere breadcrumbs to the chicken. Breadcrumbs: I like to use plain breadcrumbs and add my own seasonings. If you are using Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, you can leave out the cheese and Italian seasoning blend. For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs. Seasonings: Salt, Pepper, and Italian Seasoning. You can make Homemade Italian Seasoning so easily. Cheese: Freshly grated parmesan is added to the breadcrumbs, and shredded mozzarella melts on top of the cutlets. Marinara Sauce: use your favorite jarred pasta sauce, or homemade if you have it. Fresh Basil Leaves: Chop your leaves into medium pieces. Bread: Cheesecake Factory’s Chicken Parm Sandwich is served on a French roll. You can also use a baguette, sliced into sandwich sized pieces, or ciabatta rolls. Oil: You’ll need cooking oil for frying, and olive oil for drizzling on the bread.
