Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 1 baguette, sliced and toasted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh basil leaves, optional

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Pound chicken to even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten egg and milk, and one with breadcrumbs and Parmesan.

  4. 4

    Dredge chicken in flour, dip in egg mixture, then coat with breadcrumb mixture.

  5. 5

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Brown chicken on both sides until golden, about 4 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Place chicken on a baking sheet. Top with marinara sauce and mozzarella slices.

  7. 7

    Bake for 8-10 minutes, until cheese melts and chicken is cooked through.

    Assemble sandwich: layer chicken on toasted baguette, garnish with fresh basil if desired, slice and serve.

Chef's tip

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce.
