Servings: 4

Ingredients

Fresh basil leaves (6-8)
Buns (4, halved and toasted)
Mozzarella cheese (1 cup, shredded)
Marinara sauce (1 cup)
Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
Salt (1/2 teaspoon, or to taste)
Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon, or to taste)
Italian seasoning (1 teaspoon)
Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup, grated)
Breadcrumbs (1 cup)
Egg (1, beaten)
Chicken breasts (4, boneless and skinless)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
In one shallow dish, whisk the egg. In a separate dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten egg, letting the excess drip off. Then, dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a baking sheet. Top each with a quarter of the marinara sauce and a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Place each chicken on a toasted bun, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and cover with the bun top.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy the taste of Italy in a sandwich!
