I also passed on the bread and made it as a regular entree with egg noodles. I also subbed whole wheat flour. Hubby and 2yo daughter both loved it. I thought it was a great weeknight meal quick and easy and tasted as good as most restaurant versions. Will definitely keep this in our rotation.
I absolutely loved it! I am 23 and i don't really like to cook but it was surprisingly easy. I tasted it with the bread but I liked it better without it (plus you save on cals and carbs). I got a spicy marinara sauce to give it that little extra kick. I would recommend this if you want something everyone will love.
Needs more seasoning! I thought the idea of a chicken parm sub with spinach was great but I was very disappointed with the flavor. The first time I made it he chicken and the spinach were very bland and the marinara sauce (Bertolli) made the sandwich watery. I revamped the recipe by reducing the marinara with1/4 cup red wine sauteed garlic and onions garlic powder onion powder black pepper and Italian seasonings. I also brined the chicken for 30 minutes then rinsed it and added a little more kosher salt black pepper garlic powder onion powder dried basil and Italian seasoning. After dredging it I pan fried it in about 1/2 cup EVOO and 2 tbsp butter. I know that's not quite as healthy but I blotted the chicken with paper towel after cooking it. Finally I kicked up the spinach by cooking it chicken soup base and then draining off the excess liquid. The second time around it tasted WAY better. Pros: Spinach adds vegetables Cons: Bland
I made this last night with some left over grilled chicken breast. I sliced the chicken breast in half and made 4 sandwhiches. I also put the spinach on after I removed it from the oven. This was so filling that I was able to bring left overs to lunch today! Yummy!
Absolutely fantastic! No changes needed
Everyone went back for seconds.
I made this followed the recipe and the sandwiches were delicious. The only thing I did differently was I used jumbo tenders which were already thin and just clustered a couple together beneath the spinach sauce and cheese. Using tenders made this especially easy!!!!!
Add some kick Many comments say it is a little bland so I used leftover bruchetta (spelling?) sauce. Earned killer brownie points from the wife. Using the amount of salt and pepper from the recipe does not affect the taste. Needs a bit more or season post dipping in the flour. Really fast too I am a very slow cook and always take longer than the recipe says it should but I was able to turn it out in 25 minutes from start to plating. Pros: Fast Cons: a little carb heavy
Recipe was awesome! I did add some diced onion to the spinach. I added a bit of Italian seasoning onion powder garlic powder and instead of plain salt I added celery salt After dredging it thru the flour mix I put the chicken in the pan (all 4 at once) I added more onion and minced garlic. After that I baked as directed and it was scrumptious. For my boys (ages 1.5 and 9) I skipped the spinach on their chicken and served in over noodles. Both enjoyed the meal as much as Mommy and Daddy enjoyed their sandwiches!
