Spoon a tablespoon of marinara sauce onto each piece of chicken.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

To assemble the sandwich, lay down two lettuce leaves, place one piece of chicken on top, and add a basil leaf.
Top with two more lettuce leaves. Repeat for the other sandwiches.
