Chicken parm is an Italian classic. Though typically made with breaded chicken, I prefer to use grilled chicken. This dish has all of the classic flavors, less of the guilt, and it can be ready in 20 minutes!

Becoming gluten free made me more aware, but I often think a top and bottom bun is too much bread! It depends on the ratio, but I am almost always satisfied with only half of a roll. All of the flavor, with less of the carbs! Sign me up. So, I am all about open-faced sandwiches.

Here, chicken parmesan remains a beloved classic, now topless.

Is chicken parmesan unhealthy?

Traditional chicken parmesan is made with breaded and fried chicken, which is then covered in cheese and tomato sauce. At many Italian restaurants, it's served over a large pile of noodles. So, it's loaded with fat, carbs, calories...all the fun stuff! With this version, we used grilled chicken, no breading, and no frying. Then, a bit of cheese, some tomato sauce, and only half of a gluten free bun.

Storing Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches

For the best results, store individual parts separately and assemble when ready to enjoy the leftovers. If you store the chicken, sauce, and cheese on top of the bread, it could become a little mushy after reheating.
