🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)
For the Chicken Cutlets:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons milk

1 ½ cups Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

Olive oil (for frying)

For the Marinara Sauce (optional homemade):
2 tbsp olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp sugar (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil (optional)

For the Sandwich:
8 slices of hearty bread (sourdough, Italian loaf, or brioche recommended)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded provolone cheese (or slices)

4 tablespoons butter (softened)

Fresh basil (optional for garnish)

🍗 Step 1: Preparing the Chicken Cutlets
Chicken Parmesan starts with perfectly fried chicken cutlets. You want them thin, crispy, and seasoned to perfection.

1.1 Butterfly the Chicken:
Slice each chicken breast horizontally to make two thinner cutlets. If they’re still too thick, cover them with plastic wrap and pound gently with a meat mallet until they’re about ½ inch thick.

1.2 Set Up a Breading Station:
You’ll need three shallow bowls:

Bowl 1 (Flour): Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Bowl 2 (Egg): Beat eggs with milk.
