A crispy breaded chicken cutlet layered with rich marinara sauce and melted mozzarella, tucked inside a warm toasted hoagie roll for a comforting and satisfying sandwich.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced or pounded into thin cutlets
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese (or about 1 cup shredded mozzarella)
  • 2 large hoagie rolls
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Let it warm for 1 to 2 minutes until shimmering.
  2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with grated parmesan cheese.
  3. Season the chicken cutlets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
  4. Coat each cutlet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into beaten eggs, then press firmly into the breadcrumb-parmesan mixture until fully coated.
  5. Place the breaded chicken into the hot skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan – cook in batches if needed.
  6. Place mozzarella slices on top of the hot chicken and spoon marinara sauce over the cheese. Cover the pan for 1 minute to melt the cheese if needed.
  7. Lightly toast the hoagie rolls in a dry skillet or under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes.
  8. Place the cheesy chicken cutlets inside the toasted rolls and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Freshly grated parmesan provides significantly better flavor than pre-grated varieties – do not skip this upgrade.
  • Toast the bread lightly to prevent sogginess when assembling the sandwich.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet – cook in batches if needed for a proper golden crust.
  • Store components separately and reheat chicken in a skillet or oven at 375 degrees F to preserve crispiness. Avoid microwaving.
