Servings: 4 sandwiches
Calories: 571kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning, divided
- ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in half
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1 ½ cups marinara sauce heated
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1 cup 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, julienned, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to broil.
- Add the flour, one tablespoon of Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to a pie plate or shallow dish. Mix until combined. In another shallow dish, add the eggs, and in a third shallow bowl, add the panko.
- Pat the breasts dry with a paper towel, then dredge them in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour, then the egg, and finally the panko. Set aside.
- Add the oil and butter to a large skillet over low to medium heat. Once the oil and butter are hot, add the chicken.
- Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes. Flip each piece over and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until its internal temperature reaches 165°F, as measured by an instant-read meat thermometer. The time depends on the thickness of the breasts.
- While the chicken is frying, split the rolls, place them on a baking sheet, and broil in the oven for 1 to 2 minutes until slightly toasted. Remove from the oven. Heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan or the microwave.
- Remove the skillet with the breasts from the heat. Spread about a quarter of a cup of marinara sauce on each piece, top with parsley, and then add about a quarter cup of mozzarella cheese on each and the remainder of the Italian seasoning.
- Place the skillet under the broiler and broil for one to three minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Spread about a tablespoon of marinara sauce on the bottom roll and add a chicken breast.
- Add the top roll and optional basil, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
This sandwich makes a great party appetizer when sliced into thirds or quarters. To keep the layers together, stick a toothpick through them before serving.
Do not overcook your chicken. Keep a close eye on it while it cooks; breasts tend to dry out and get tough if overcooked. The thinner the breasts, the quicker they will cook.
