Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 2 large sub rolls
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice each chicken breast horizontally into two thinner cutlets, resulting in four pieces total.
Season the chicken cutlets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Prepare a breading station: place the flour in one shallow dish, beat the eggs with water in a second dish, and mix the breadcrumbs with the Parmesan cheese in a third dish.
Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, shaking off excess. Then dip into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Once hot, add the breaded chicken cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and transfer to a baking sheet.
Spoon a quarter cup of marinara sauce over each chicken cutlet, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Meanwhile, slice the sub rolls in half and lightly toast them in the oven for a few minutes if desired.
Once the chicken is done, place two cutlets into each sub roll.
Top with a few fresh basil leaves, serve immediately, and enjoy your Chicken Parmesan Sub.
