Chicken Parmesan Stuffed Garlic Bread Recipe

Chicken Parmesan Bread Ingredients:

1 loaf French bread

1 chicken breast, sliced

2 cups flour

2 cups bread crumbs

4 eggs, beaten

olive oil, for frying

10 slices mozzarella

1/3 cup  butter, melted

3 cloves garlic

1 Tablespoon fresh parsley

1 Tablespoon parmesan cheese

Marinara sauce

How to Make This Recipe:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step One

Slice the chicken breast into small strips to prepare them for frying. Slice across the long side of the chicken breast so that you end up with 10-12 thin strips of chicken.

Step Two

Place your flour, beaten eggs and breadcrumbs in bowls. Dredge each chicken strip in these three items. Start with the flour, then the egg mixture, then dip in the breadcrumb mixture last. Repeat this step with each chicken strip until all are coated.

Step Three

In a large skillet on medium high, heat the oil for frying. Place half your chicken strips in the pan and fry until golden, then flip over, frying until both sides are golden brown. Repeat this step with the second batch of chicken. Set aside.

Step Four

Slice your French bread into 4-6 slices. This really depends on the size of your loaf of bread, you will be cutting smaller bite-sized pieces later. Each slice should be about 4 inches long, or a little longer than your chicken strips. Take each slice of bread and use a knife to cut just inside the edge, allowing you to hollow the center from the bread. Once cut, pull the bread from the inside to leave a hole as shown. Repeat until all bread slices are hollowed out. Set aside.

Step Five

Take your cheese slices and place on a cutting board. Place one of your fried chicken strips in the center of the cheese, then fold both sides in so that the cheese covers the chicken. Place each chicken cheese roll into a hollow slice of French bread.  Push until the chicken is completely covered by the bread. Repeat this step for each slice of bread and fried chicken piece.

Step Six

Here is one of the secrets to the best Chicken Parmesan ever, garlic butter. This adds amazing flavor to both the fried chicken and the cheese stuffed bread. To make it, melt the butter, then add 3 cloves of chopped or pressed garlic, fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir all ingredients until mixed.

Step Seven

Place all the chicken stuffed french bread slices on a cutting board, and cut into small, bite-sized pieces. Then place these pieces on a baking pan lined with tin foil. Use a basting brush to coat the top of each of the bread slices with the butter, cheese, parsley and garlic mixture.

Step Eight

Heat in preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until cheese melts. Serve with a size of marinara sauce for dipping.
