Ingredients:

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 crusty rolls (such as ciabatta or hoagie rolls)
• Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
2. • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   • Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create four thin cutlets.
   • In a shallow dish, combine the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper.
   • In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
   • In a third shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
3. Bread the Chicken:
4. • Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
   • Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Cook the Chicken:
6. • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Cook the breaded chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
7. Assemble the Sandwiches:
8. • While the chicken is baking, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan.
   • Slice the rolls in half and toast them lightly.
   • Place a chicken cutlet on the bottom half of each roll. Spoon marinara sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
   • Place the sandwiches on the baking sheet and return to the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Serve:
10. • Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
