Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 sub rolls
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh basil (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for the baking process.
- Prepare the chicken: Flatten the chicken breasts to about 1-inch thickness. This helps them cook evenly. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bread the chicken: In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Coat each chicken breast thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they achieve a beautiful golden-brown crust.
- Prepare for baking: Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a baking sheet. Top each piece with a generous amount of marinara sauce, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake the chicken: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and nicely melted.
- Assemble the subs: Carefully place each piece of chicken onto a sub roll. If desired, garnish with fresh basil for an extra burst of flavor and color.
