- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 4 sandwiches 1x
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cups breadcrumbs (Italian-style preferred)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup hot pepper rings
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Set up a breading station: Place the flour in a shallow dish, the beaten eggs in another dish, and combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder in a third dish.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs gently to adhere to the chicken.
- In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- To assemble the sandwiches, place a fried chicken cutlet on each hoagie roll. Top with shredded lettuce, hot pepper rings, and thinly sliced red onion.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately.
Notes
For an extra burst of flavor, add a drizzle of your favorite Italian dressing to the sandwich. Feel free to opt for hot pepper rings with a level of spiciness that suits your taste buds. Elevate the sandwich by adding a slice of provolone or mozzarella cheese to melt over the warm chicken cutlet. Pair this sandwich with a side of crispy potato wedges or a simple green salad. Enjoy!
