This Vodka Chicken Parm Sandwich takes indulgence to the next level. Crispy, golden chicken cutlets are smothered in a rich, creamy vodka sauce, then topped with melted mozzarella and layered between slices of toasted bread. Each bite brings together the tang of tomato paste, the warmth of garlic and herbs, and the richness of heavy cream and cheese. Finished with fresh basil and grated Parmesan, this sandwich is bold, cheesy, and perfect for a comforting meal you won’t forget.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Cutlet Pounding Perfection 🔨Pound chicken breasts to an even 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet to ensure uniform, crispy breading and quick, even cooking.
- Vodka Sauce Depth 🍸Allow the vodka to simmer and reduce for 3-4 minutes to burn off alcohol and concentrate the rich, complex flavors in the sauce.
- Breading Triple Threat 🥚Create a three-stage breading station: seasoned flour, beaten eggs, and herbed breadcrumbs for maximum crunch and flavor layering.
- Cheese Melting Technique 🧀Cover the chicken with cheese and place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to achieve a perfectly golden, bubbling cheese crust.
- Bread Toasting Hack 🍞Brush sandwich bread with garlic-infused olive oil before toasting to add an extra layer of aromatic flavor to the sandwich.
