This is a simple meal but your kids won’t even notice that they are eating tomatoes because the lycopene-packed fruits are perfectly disguised in this cheesy, saucy sandwich. And it’s a great way to use the yummy breaded chicken from our Chicken Parmigiana either as a leftover sandwich or as the primary meal. If you use a homemade marinara sauce you can blend in other healthy veggies like zucchini and summer squash without your family even noticing. But if you are short on time you can use the store-bought pasta sauce of your choice.
