Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil for frying

For the Sandwich:

• 4 hoagie rolls or ciabatta rolls
• 1 cup marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 8 slices mozzarella cheese
• Fresh basil leaves (optional)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
2. • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create four thin cutlets.
   • Season the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and coat with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
3. Cook the Chicken:
4. • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Fry the breaded chicken cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
   • Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. Assemble the Sandwiches:
6. • Place the fried chicken cutlets on a baking sheet.
   • Spoon marinara sauce over each cutlet and top with two slices of mozzarella cheese.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Prepare the Rolls:
8. • While the chicken is baking, split the hoagie rolls and brush the insides with melted butter mixed with garlic powder.
   • Toast the rolls in the oven or on a skillet until golden brown.
9. Build the Sandwiches:
10. • Place a chicken cutlet on the bottom half of each toasted roll.
    • Add fresh basil leaves if desired.
    • Top with the other half of the roll and serve immediately.
