Naked Parm Glory on a Bun

Naked Chicken Parmesan Sandwich | Not Just a One Off Meal


Hold on Tight. This 6-Ingredient Sandwich Delivers

Look, let’s be honest. You could just slap some deli meat between two slices of bread and call it a day.

Or wrap your hands around a tender chicken cutlet topped with a slow-simmered tomato sauce served with pan fried bell peppers and onions on a toasted bun.

And here’s where it gets interesting—this Naked Chicken Parmesan Sandwich isn’t just a one-off meal. It’s part of a Capsule Meal Plan. What’s that?

It’s the kind of thinking that turns last night’s effort into tomorrow’s easy win. Here’s how it works…

DAY ONE

You go full Italian nonna, and simmer extra tomato sauce on pasta night.

DAY TWO

That same sauce drapes over perfectly tender Naked Chicken Parmesan.

DAY 3

The last of that chicken meets a toasted bun, some pan-fried peppers and onions, and suddenly, you’ve got a sandwich that makes you question why you ever settle for a deli sandwich.
