Someone really needs to take away my waffle maker because I just can’t stop.
Seriously. I’m sorry I’m not sorry because this chicken parmesan has just been taken to the next level.
Chicken Parmesan Grilled Cheese
Chicken breasts breaded/fried, smothered with tomato sauce and covered with mozzarella - all neatly in a cheesy sandwich!!
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.

Do you think your waffle sandwiches would grill on a George Foreman grill as well as a waffle iron?
What a great idea! But unfortunately, without having tried this myself, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment when making substitutions and modifications.
very nice recipe
Yummmmmy! Are you using a regular waffle iron or a Belgian waffle iron when you make your wafflewiches?
Belgian!
love the use of the waffle iron for mashing all these flavors together, also nice touch using whole wheat bread here, that much less guilt involved and really really looks like you won’t be able to taste the difference!, thanks again for a lovely recipe
p.s. unless I’ve missed it, any thoughts to using your waffle iron to make a monte cristo sandwich?
Genius idea!
Yum! We’re having chicken parm for dinner tonight! We should make this instead!

Drooling!!
Yummmmmy! Are you using a regular waffle iron or a Belgian waffle iron when you make your wafflewiches?
I am using a Belgian waffle iron.
Looks so delicious! Do you put butter or olive oil or anything on the side of the bread that comes into contact with the waffle iron? I’m wondering if that would be needed for browning?
Nonstick spray should do the trick!
Yes!! I can’t live without my waffle maker too.
This grilled cheese looks amazing 🙂
