Evidence-Based
These chains serve standout chicken Parmesan sandwiches worth ordering.

If you are craving chicken parmesan but don’t feel like eating with a knife and fork, order it as a sandwich. The chicken parm sandwich is one of my favorites. Similar to the pasta dish, it comes with a delicious, breaded, seasoned chicken cutlet topped with melted mozzarella cheese and smothered in marinara sauce, then sandwiched between a sub roll or two pieces of bread. The hot sandwich is super delicious when you can find it. Here are 5 restaurant chains with the best chicken parmesan sandwiches, according to diners.

Carrabba’s Italian Grill

Carrabba’s Italian Grill serves a delicious version of the hot sandwich. “Chicken coated with Mama Mandola’s breadcrumbs, sauteed and topped with our pomodoro sauce and Parmesan & mozzarella cheeses on toasted focaccia bread,” they write. “Carrabbas has the best to me. And I’m not a chain restaurant person. Their chicken is thinner which I prefer,” a Redditor says.

Cheesecake Factory

The Cheesecake Factory

The Chicken Parmesan Sandwich at Cheesecake Factory is another fan favorite. It starts with a tender breast of chicken that is lightly coated in Parmesan breadcrumbs and cooked to perfection. Then it is topped with tomato sauce, and melted cheese, served on a fresh, warm French roll. “Absolutely worth every bite! The Cheesecake Factorys chicken parm sandwich is a delicious blend of flavors that never disappoints. Highly recommend!” one writes.
