Ingredients
  • 1 cup oil, for frying
  • 4 chicken cutlets, pounded to ¼-inch thickness
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup onion, grated
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28-ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 4 hoagie rolls, sliced lengthwise
  • 2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella
  • ¼ cup sliced basil leaves
Directions
  1. Heat the frying oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
  2. Arrange the flour, eggs, and panko in three different shallow bowls. Mix the Parmesan, salt, and Italian seasoning into the panko.
  3. Working one at a time, dredge the cutlets into the flour.
  4. Coat the cutlets with egg, letting any excess drip away.
  5. Dredge the cutlets in the panko mixture, pressing the crumbs firmly into the chicken.
  6. When the oil is hot, add the chicken cutlets and fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
  7. Remove and reserve the breaded chicken on a paper-towel-lined plate.
  8. To make the sauce, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  9. Add the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  10. Add the tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and sugar and stir. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and then let it reduce for 5 minutes.
  11. Preheat the broiler to high and arrange a rack in the middle of the oven.
  12. Add the hoagie rolls to a baking sheet and fill them with the breaded chicken.
  13. Add the mozzarella and tomato sauce to each sandwich.
  14. Broil until the cheese is melted, about 3-5 minutes.
  15. Top with shredded basil to serve.
