Wondering what to do with that huge tray of chicken cutlets you just made? Let me help you!
This Vodka Sauce Pesto Chicken Parm Sandwich takes everything you love about classic chicken parmesan and turns it into the ultimate handheld meal. Crispy chicken cutlets are layered onto crusty Italian bread with creamy homemade vodka sauce, fresh mozzarella, and bright basil pesto, then baked until perfectly melty and golden. Slice it up for dinner, game day, or feeding a crowd. And don't forget the extra vodka sauce for dipping!
The best part? This recipe comes together in no time if you've already got a batch of chicken cutlets and leftover vodka sauce on hand. It's one of my favorite ways to transform leftovers into something that feels completely new. Serve it with a simple Caesar salad, crispy fries, or just plenty of extra vodka sauce on the side for dipping, because there's no such thing as too much sauce around here!
