Chicken Parm Sub — A New York Classic, the Healthyish Way
Baked chicken cutlet, house-whipped burrata, house-made marinara, shaved parmesan, and house-infused basil oil on house-baked semolina bread.
Chicken parm is sacred in New York. We know that. Which is why we didn't try to reinvent it — we just made it our way. Tender baked chicken cutlet (never fried) layered with house-whipped burrata, our house-made marinara, shaved parmesan, and a drizzle of house-infused basil oil. Everything on semolina bread we bake in-house and cold-proof for 24+ hours — sturdy enough to hold the sauce, soft enough to melt into the rest. This is chicken parm that feels like a classic but eats like something better.
The move that changes everything is the burrata. Most chicken parms lean on rubbery mozzarella that turns into a stretchy, one-note blanket. We whip our burrata in-house, so it's light and fluffy — it melts into the marinara and coats the cutlet rather than wrestling with it for control. The chicken is baked, so you get a clean, golden crust with real flavor instead of a greasy shell. The marinara is house-made for hours in the kitchen, with layers of sauce above and below the chicken cutlet for maximum flavor infusion. The basil oil adds an aromatic finish that ties the whole sandwich together. It's the chicken parm you crave, minus the part where you need a nap afterward.
