I made this one day when I was craving Chicken Parmesan but trying to stay on a diet as well. It is really delicious and can be made very fast too! If I want to sneak in more veggies, I sauté a little spinach and put it on right before the sauce.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds flank steak
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup whole grain mustard
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for bread
1 1/2 ounces Parmesan, finely grated
1 ciabatta loaf, halved lengthwise
6 cups mature arugula leaves with tender stems

Steps:

  • Heat a dry large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Using a sharp knife, lightly score steak on both sides in a crosshatch pattern. Season generously with salt and pepper, then rub all over with vegetable oil. Cook steak, turning once or twice to brown evenly, until medium-rare and lightly charred, 8−10 minutes. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest at least 15 minutes; reserve skillet.
  • Meanwhile, place onion in a small bowl; cover with cold water. Set aside.
  • Blend mustard and lemon juice in a blender to combine. With motor running, stream in 1/2 cup olive oil, then gradually add Parmesan. Stream in 1 Tbsp. cold water and blend until dressing is smooth and thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat reserved skillet over medium. Drizzle cut sides of ciabatta with olive oil. Working with 1 half at a time, cook, cut side down, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes each.
  • Place bread, cut side up, on a platter and drizzle with one-third of dressing. Top with arugula; drain reserved onion and scatter over arugula. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with half of remaining dressing. Thinly slice steak and arrange over dressed arugula. Drizzle with remaining dressing, season with more salt, then cut sandwiches crosswise into pieces.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken breasts are evenly cooked, pound them to an even thickness before cooking.
  • Use a good quality marinara sauce for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts.
  • To make the sandwiches ahead of time, cook the chicken and assemble the sandwiches without the cheese. When ready to serve, bake the sandwiches until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the sandwiches with your favorite sides, such as pasta, salad, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

These open-faced chicken parmesan sandwiches are a quick and easy meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. The crispy chicken, melted cheese, and tangy marinara sauce make these sandwiches irresistible. Whether you serve them for lunch or dinner, these sandwiches are sure to be a hit.
