• Chicken breasts: 4 boneless, skinless, for a tender and juicy filling.
• All-purpose flour: 1 cup, for dredging the chicken and helping the bread crumbs adhere.
• Large eggs: 2, beaten, for dipping the chicken before coating in bread crumbs.
• Bread crumbs: 1 ½ cups, for a crispy coating on the chicken.
• Parmesan cheese: 1 cup, grated, mixed with bread crumbs for added flavor.
• Shredded mozzarella cheese: 2 cups, for a gooey and melty topping.
• Marinara sauce: 1 ½ cups, for a tangy and rich flavor.
• Sub rolls: 4, toasted, to hold the chicken and toppings.
• Olive oil: ¼ cup, for frying the chicken to golden perfection.
• Salt and pepper: to taste, for seasoning the chicken.
• Dried oregano: ½ tsp, for a hint of Italian flavor.

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with a mixture of bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Step 2:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a baking sheet.

Step 3:

Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with dried oregano.

Step 4:

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 5:

While chicken is baking, slice sub rolls and lightly toast them if desired.

Step 6:

Place the cooked chicken breasts on the toasted rolls. Spoon additional marinara sauce over the top if desired.

Step 7:

Serve hot and enjoy your hearty and cheesy chicken parmesan subs!

• These subs are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Serve with a side of fries or a green salad for a complete meal.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or a toaster oven for best results.

• For a lighter version, use whole wheat sub rolls and bake the chicken instead of frying.
• You can add toppings like fresh basil or arugula for extra flavor and freshness.
