Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces plant-based chicken patties
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces Italian hoagie rolls or similar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the plant-based chicken patties to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until they are golden and crisp.
While the patties are cooking, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave.
Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the marinara sauce and stir well.
Place the cooked patties on a baking sheet. Spoon a generous amount of marinara sauce over each patty.
Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese evenly over the top of each sauced patty.
Transfer the baking sheet to your preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
While the patties are baking, split open the hoagie rolls and spread the inside with butter.
Toast the buttered rolls in a skillet or on a grill until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Once the cheese is melted, remove the patties from the oven.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing each patty in a toasted bun. Top each with a few fresh basil leaves.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your Vegetarian Chicken Parmesan Sandwich.
