Method
Preparation of Chicken
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- 2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.
- 3
Bread the Chicken
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Assembly and Baking
- 5
Assemble the Chicken Parmesan
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Place the fried chicken breasts on top of the sauce. Spoon more marinara sauce over each chicken breast and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- 6
Bake
Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Prepare the Hoagie Rolls
While the chicken is baking, slice the hoagie rolls in half and lightly toast them under the broiler or in a toaster.
- 8
Serve
Remove the chicken from the oven. Place each chicken breast on a toasted hoagie roll, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve with extra marinara sauce on the side.
