Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets about 4 oz each
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 sub rolls split
  • 1 cup thick marinara sauce

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken with salt, black pepper and Italian seasoning and heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook the cutlets for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until browned and 165°F inside, then rest them for 3 minutes.
  3. Place the split rolls on a sheet pan and fill each with 1 chicken cutlet and 1/4 cup marinara.
  4. Top each sandwich with 2 mozzarella slices and one-fourth of the Parmesan.
  5. Broil the open sandwiches for 2 to 3 minutes, until the rolls toast and the cheese bubbles, then close them.
