Ingredients

  • 8 slices whole wheat bread
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

For the chicken parmesan

  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup Italian style breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut crosswise in half
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the top and bottom of the waffle iron or coat with nonstick spray.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
  • In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan; set aside.
  • Working one at a time, dredge chicken in flour, dip into eggs, then dredge in breadcrumbs mixture, pressing to coat.
  • Add chicken to the skillet and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Working in batches, place bread slices into the waffle iron. Top with chicken, tomato sauce, mozzarella and remaining bread slices. Close gently and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.
