Method
Chicken Scallopini Preparation
- 1
Prepare Chicken
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick. This helps them cook evenly.
- 2
Bread the Chicken
Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.
- 3
Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Assemble the Sandwich
Layer each half of the toasted baguette with a piece of fried chicken, followed by a generous spoonful of tomato sauce, and top with provolone cheese. Place back in the oven for 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts.
