A chicken cutlet, meatballs and sauce, then a second cutlet on top — the sandwich uses no bread at all. The cutlets are breaded and fried in about ten minutes.
The meatballs are the three-hour part, so they are worth making the day before. Stir them gently every half hour while they simmer; they are soft in the sauce and a rough spoon turns them into bolognese.
Meatballs
⅔ lb ground beef
2 eggs
1 cup bread crumbs
¼ cup grated onion
1 tbsp parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
1 (24-oz) jar marinara sauce, divided
Chicken Cutlets
4 boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 eggs, beaten
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
2 tbsp avocado oil
Meatballs
1In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients and only 1 spoonful of marinara sauce. Shape into balls.
2Add jar of marinara sauce to a large saucepan. Add in meatballs, and simmer in sauce for 3 hours under low flame, mixing carefully (as to not mush the meatballs) every half hour.
