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!
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce. You can also use whole grain buns for a healthier option.
