Instructions

1. 1

   Prep the oven:: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

   Prepare the Chicken:: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in flour, dip into beaten eggs, and coat with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian herbs.

3. 3

   Fry the chicken:: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

   Assemble the Subs:: Place the sub rolls on a baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom half of each roll. Place a fried chicken breast on top of the sauce on each roll. Spoon more marinara sauce over the chicken. Lay two slices of mozzarella cheese over the sauce on each sub, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
