Prepare the Chicken:

• Place each chicken breast between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Breading Station:

• Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

Bread the Chicken:

• Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the Chicken:

• In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the breaded chicken breasts. Fry for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Prepare the Rolls:

• In a small bowl, combine softened butter and minced garlic. Spread the garlic butter on the cut sides of the rolls. Toast the rolls under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Assemble the Sandwiches:

• Place a chicken breast on the bottom half of each roll. Spoon warm marinara sauce over the chicken, then top with two slices of mozzarella cheese.

Melt the Cheese:

• Place the assembled sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve:

• Garnish with fresh basil leaves, close the sandwiches with the top halves of the rolls, and serve immediately.
