Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 4 pieces hoagie rolls
- 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make four thin pieces. Lightly pound them with a meat mallet to ensure even thickness.
Season the chicken with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Prepare a breading station with three bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, beat together the eggs and water. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
Dredge each chicken piece in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to adhere.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the browned chicken onto a baking sheet. Spoon 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce over each piece of chicken, then top each with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Lightly toast the hoagie rolls in the oven or in a toaster.
To assemble the sandwiches, place a chicken parmesan piece on the bottom half of each toasted hoagie roll. Add fresh basil leaves on top of the cheese.
Cover with the top half of the roll, slice in half, and serve warm.
