Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 sub rolls
- 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Breading Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
Seasoning and Oil:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a seasoning blend for the chicken breasts using salt and pepper.
- Create a coating station with flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Thoroughly dredge each chicken breast through these layers.
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown exterior and reach proper internal temperature.
- Transfer the golden chicken to a baking sheet and generously cover each piece with marinara sauce.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauced chicken and dust with dried oregano for enhanced flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts completely and becomes bubbly.
- While chicken bakes, prepare sub rolls by slicing and optionally toasting them to add a crisp texture.
- Carefully place the hot, cheese-covered chicken onto the prepared rolls.
- Optional: Add an extra spoonful of marinara sauce over the chicken for additional moisture and flavor.
- Serve immediately while the chicken is hot and cheese is melted, creating a delectable chicken parmesan sub experience.
Notes
- Swap bread crumbs with gluten-free alternatives like almond meal or crushed gluten-free crackers for a celiac-friendly version.
- Toast sub rolls in butter or olive oil for extra crispiness and enhanced flavor profile.
- Use thin-sliced chicken breasts to ensure faster cooking and more even coating coverage.
- Fresh herbs like basil or parsley can elevate the dish’s freshness and add vibrant color when sprinkled on top before serving.
