Ingredients

2 c. panko breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 lb. chicken cutlets, cut in half lengthwise
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
canola oil
1 lb. fresh mozzarella, sliced 1/4" thick
4 hero rolls, cut in half lengthwise
2 c. tomato sauce
Fresh basil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare breading station with 3 large mixing bowls: one with breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese mixed together, another with eggs beaten with 1 tablespoon water, and the last with flour. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Coat each piece of chicken in flour and shake off excess, then dip into egg and coat in breadcrumbs. Repeat steps for remaining chicken and set aside on a plate.
In a large cast iron skillet add 1" oil over medium-high heat. When pan is hot but not smoking add chicken cutlets. Cook until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate.
In a small sauce pan, warm up tomato sauce.
Meanwhile, in a rimmed sheet pan lined with parchment paper, place hero rolls cut-side up. Toast until lightly golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Place chicken cutlets on bottom halves of hero rolls and top with sliced mozzarella cheese. Toast again until cheese begins to melt. Add spoonfuls of warm tomato sauce and 3 or 4 fresh basil leaves between the chicken and hero rolls. Close sandwich and cut in half. Serve immediately.
