Easy, Cheesy, Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches & Family Game Night

Easy, Cheesy, Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches & Family Game Night



Ingredients:

  • Tyson Chicken Nuggets
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • Marinara or Pasta Sauce
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • French Rolls
  • Ore Ida French Fries
  • Heinz Ketchup

Directions:
  • Cook the Golden Crinkles an Chicken Nuggets according to the package instructions.
  • While those are cooking, take out the rolls and sprinkle some of the Parmesan cheese on the rolls. Any Parmesan cheese will work – I happened to have some Shaved Parmigiano Reggiano cheese on hand. Throw those into the same oven and let the rolls toast for 3-5 minutes.
  • Once the Chicken Nuggets are cooked, place them on top of the rolls and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese.
  • Spoon on 3-4 tablespoons of sauce.
  • And then cover with mozzarella cheese. You can use shredded, fresh, or slices. Whatever you have will work :)
  • Throw the sandwiches back into the oven and bake until the cheese is nice and melted {3-5 minutes} and get ready to enjoy!
  • For the kids’ plates I stacked the Golden Crinkles like Lincoln Logs because on Family Game Night – food is FUN too! I squeezed the Heinz Ketchup into the center for dipping – the boys LOVED this.
